CMake ships with numerous .cmake script files and development tools that facilitate tasks such as finding dependencies (both built-in and external, e.g. FindXYZ modules), testing the toolchain environment and executables, packaging releases (CPack), and managing dependencies on external projects (ExternalProject module).
Meson can automatically find and use external dependencies installed on the users system via pkg-config, CMake, and project-specific lookups. [18] Alternatively, or as a fallback, a dependency can be provided as a subproject – a Meson project within another, either contained or as a download link, possibly with patches. [ 19 ]
Boot – build automation and dependency management tool; written in Clojure; Boost boost.build – For C++ projects, cross-platform, based on Perforce Jam; Buck – Build system developed and used by Meta Platforms; written in Rust, using Starlark (BUILD file syntax) as Bazel
Autoconf-like support for finding #include files, libraries, functions and typedefs; Global view of dependencies, so multiple build passes or reordering targets is not required. Ability to share built files in a cache to speed up multiple builds - like ccache but for any type of target file, not just C/C++ compilation
Build automation is the practice of building software systems in a relatively unattended fashion. The build is configured to run with minimized or no software developer interaction and without using a developer's personal computer.
pkg-config is software development tool that queries information about libraries from a local, file-based database for the purpose of building a codebase that depends on them. . It allows for sharing a codebase in a cross-platform way by using host-specific library information that is stored outside of yet referenced by the codeba
A software build is the process of converting source code files into standalone software artifact(s) that can be run on a computer, or the result of doing so. [1]In software production, builds optimize software for performance and distribution, packaging into formats such as '.exe'; '.deb'; '.apk'.
The developers hoped to eventually push for Qbs to replace qmake as Qt's own build system. However, in October 2018 it was deprecated [5] in favor of qmake and/or cmake. In an August 7, 2019 blog post, the Qt Company stated that starting with Qt 6, cmake will become Qt's standard build system [6] and cited cmake's extreme popularity as a factor ...
