Rscons
Rscons (https://github.com/holtrop/rscons) is an open-source build system for developers. It supports the following features:
- multi-threaded job execution
- auto-configuration
- built-in builders for several common operations
- out-of-the-box support for C, C++, and D languages
- extensibility for other languages or custom builders
- compatible with Windows, Linux, OS X, and FreeBSD
- colorized output with build progress
- build hooks
- user-defined tasks with dependencies and custom parameters
- build variants
At its core, Rscons is mainly an engine to:
- determine the proper order to perform build steps,
- determine whether each build target is up to date or in need of rebuild, and
- schedule those build steps across multiple threads as efficiently as possible.
Along the way, Rscons provides a concise syntax for specifying common types of build steps, but also provides an extensible framework for performing custom build operations as well.
Rscons takes inspiration from:
Rscons is written in Ruby. The only requirement to run Rscons is that the system has a Ruby interpreter installed.
