Title: makepp
Version: 1.19
Entered-date: 2003-08-03
Description: A syntax-compatible replacement for GNU make with numerous
enhancements for build reliability. Remembers last build command and
rebuilds if build command or any file changed. Vastly improved
system for handling makefiles from different directories.
Automatically scans for include files. Won't rebuild if only
comments or whitespace changed. Wildcards match not only files which
exist, but also those which can be built. Can automatically separate
source and object directories and keep variant builds in different
directories, all without modifying makefiles. User can write
arbitrary perl functions for particularly complicated textual
transformations.
Keywords: make, build, compile, variant build
