Knit: Making a Better Make

• tup

  23 1,139 7.7 C

  Tup is a file-based build system.

• Rake

  17 2,304 8.1 Ruby

  A make-like build utility for Ruby.

  

Yup! Two well-established alternatives are "rake", in the Ruby community, and "just" in the Rust community.

Rake is fully programmable in Ruby. Just is a bit less flexible, but it doesn't require learning Ruby, and it's quite pleasant to use.

• remake

  Enhanced GNU Make - tracing, error reporting, debugging, profiling and more

• rabs

  2 9 6.1 C

  General purpose imperative build system.

  

I've also written my own alternative to make called Rabs (https://github.com/wrapl/rabs) which uses an imperative language to specify the dependency graph as well as the build instructions. It's designed for really fast incremental builds.

• BUSY

  BUSY is a lean, statically typed, cross-platform, easily bootstrappable build system for GCC, CLANG and MSVC inspired by Google GN
