 BSDBuild
is a simple, self-contained and portable
build system derived from the traditional 4.4BSD share/mk files.
BSDBuild uses BSD-style makefiles, but without BSD make extensions
(it uses standard Bourne script fragments instead), so the build system
is portable to most operating systems and make flavors.
You never need to "regenerate" your makefiles when using BSDBuild, they
are edited directly.
This is one major advantage of BSDBuild over systems which use generated
makefiles: BSDBuild is implemented as a library.
BSDBuild can generate Bourne-type configure scripts. The base
distribution currently includes over 90
built-in tests
for detecting and testing the compatibility of various software, and
writing new tests is easy.
BSDBuild can also interface with different build systems. If the
Premake
utility is available on the host system, BSDBuild can generate, for
example, the files required for compiling "project files" for
CodeBlocks,
Visual Studio
and other IDEs.
