Build is a massively-parallel software build system implemented on top of GNU Make, designed with the following tasks in mind:

• configuration

• building

• testing

• installation

Build has features such as:

• Position-independent makefiles.

• Non-recursive multi-makefile include-based structure.

• Leaf makefiles are full-fledged GNU makefiles, not just variable definitions.

• Complete dependency graph.

• Inter-project dependency tracking.

• Extensible language/compiler framework.

This package provides the meson command, implemented as a symbolic link to the muon command of muon package.

SCons is a software construction tool. Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to build software.

Gnulib is a central location for common infrastructure needed by GNU packages. It provides a wide variety of functionality, e.g., portability across many systems, working with Unicode strings, cryptographic computation, and much more. The code is intended to be shared at the level of source files, rather than being a standalone library that is distributed, built, and installed. The included gnulib-tool script helps with using Gnulib code in other packages. Gnulib also includes copies of licensing and maintenance-related files, for convenience.

compiledb provides a make python wrapper script which, besides executing the make build command, updates the JSON compilation database file corresponding to that build, resulting in a command-line interface similar to Bear.

Muon is an implementation of the meson build system in c99 with minimal dependencies.

SCons is a software construction tool. Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as ccache. In short, SCons is an easier, more reliable and faster way to build software.

osc is a command line interface to the Open Build Service. It allows you to checkout, commit, perform reviews etc. The vast majority of the OBS functionality is available via commands and the rest can be reached via direct API calls.

premake4 is a command line utility that reads a scripted definition of a software project and outputs Makefiles or other lower-level build files.

A JSON compilation database is used in the Clang project to provide information on how a given compilation unit is processed. With this, it is easy to re-run the compilation with alternate programs. Bear is used to generate such a compilation database.

Waf is a build system framework for configuring, compiling and installing applications.

Features:

• Automatic build order: the build order is computed from input and output files, among others

• Automatic dependencies: tasks to execute are detected by hashing files and commands

• Performance: tasks are executed in parallel automatically, the startup time is meant to be fast (separation between configuration and build)

• Flexibility: new commands and tasks can be added very easily through subclassing, bottlenecks for specific builds can be eliminated through dynamic method replacement

• Extensibility: though many programming languages and compilers are already supported by default, many others are available as extensions

• IDE support: Eclipse, Visual Studio and Xcode project generators (waflib/extras/)

• Documentation: the application is based on a robust model documented in The Waf Book and in the API docs

• Python compatibility: cPython 2.7 to 3.x, Jython 2.7 and PyPy

The Meson build system is focused on user-friendliness and speed. It can compile code written in C, C++, Fortran, Java, Rust, and other languages. Meson provides features comparable to those of the Autoconf/Automake/make combo. Build specifications, also known as Meson files, are written in a custom domain-specific language (DSL) that resembles Python.

Tup is a generic build system based on a directed acyclic graphs of commands to be executed. Tup instruments your build to detect the exact dependencies of the commands, allowing you to take advantage of ideal parallelism during incremental builds, and detecting any situations where a build worked by accident.

bmake is a program designed to simplify the maintenance of other programs. Its input is a list of specifications as to the files upon which programs and other files depend.

Bam is a fast and flexible build system. Bam uses Lua to describe the build process. It takes its inspiration for the script files from scons. While scons focuses on being 100% correct when building, bam makes a few sacrifices to acquire fast full and incremental build times.

ACR tries to replace autoconf functionality generating a full-compatible configure script, but relying on Bourne shell script instead of m4.

ToyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides a fairly complete environment for any small or embedded system.

This package is an attempt at bringing smart pointers like C++'s unique_ptr and shared_ptr to C through GCC's cleanup attribute.

This library provides a C99 framework for constructing event-driven, asynchronous network application protocols.

mimalloc is a drop-in replacement for malloc.

This is a C library (with some C++ bindings available) that provides data structures and functions commonly needed, such as maps, deques, linked lists, string formatting and autoresizing, option and config file parsing, type checking casts and more.

sfsexp is a C/C++ library to read, parse, modify, and create symbolic expressions.

simdutf is a C++ library providing Unicode routines (UTF8, UTF16, UTF32). These routines are optimized for many specific architectures using SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) instructions.
