Build system on Linux that doesn't rely on make [closed]












-3















In GNU/Linux the use of GNU make and Makefiles is very common but not entirely satisfying. I am aware of tools like autotools and CMake but ultimately they still generates a Makefile, (in the case of CMake)at least on Linux. It is just automating the process of generating the Makefile.



I am wondering what build systems there are on Linux that do not require one to execute GNU make or even have GNU make installed and what advandages/disadvantages they have compared to GNU make.



Similar information related to POSIX make or non-GNU Linux or Unix in general are also welcome. It would also be nice to include historical perspectives.

          I don't get your point about cmake. There is ninja, it is commonly used with cmake. CMake has multiple generators, make just being the most commonly used. More about it maybe in cmake-generators.



          There is even wiki List_of_build_automation_software with list of Make-incompatible build systems, most of them work under Linux. I've seen projects with:




          • Maven

          • Ant

          • waf

          • SCons

          • QT Build System

          • Rake

          • Ninja

          • Bazel
