Ninja is a build system developed by Evan Martin, [4] a Google employee. Ninja has a focus on speed and it differs from other build systems in two major respects: it is designed to have its input files generated by a higher-level build system, and it is designed to run builds as fast as possible.
It served as a base for the ScCons build tool, a design which won the Software Carpentry project SC Build competition in August 2000. [4] ScCons was the foundation for SCons. SCons inspired the creation of Waf , formerly known as SCons/BKsys , which emerged in the KDE community.
Bazel is extensible with the Starlark programming language. [13] Starlark is an embedded language whose syntax is a subset of the Python syntax. However, it doesn't implement many of Python's language features, such as the ability to access the file I/O, in order to avoid extensions that could create side-effects or create build outputs not known to the build system itself.
The syntax of Meson's build description files, the Meson language, borrows from Python, but is not Python. It is designed such that it can be reimplemented in any other language; [9] for example, muon [10] is a C implementation, and Meson++ [11] is a C++ implementation. The dependency on Python is an implementation detail.
CMake is a free, cross-platform, software development tool for building applications via compiler-independent instructions. It also can automate testing, packaging and installation. It runs on a variety of platforms and supports many programming languages. [3] As a meta-build tool, CMake configures native build tools which in turn build the ...
This is a list of free and open-source software (FOSS) packages, computer software licensed under free software licenses and open-source licenses.Software that fits the Free Software Definition may be more appropriately called free software; the GNU project in particular objects to their works being referred to as open-source.

Edison Design Group: provides production-quality front end compilers for C, C++, and Java (a number of the compilers listed on this page use front end source code from Edison Design Group [111]). Additionally, Edison Design Group makes their proprietary software available for research uses.
In 2005, Mingw-w64 was created by OneVision Software under cleanroom software engineering principles, since the original MinGW project was not prompt on updating its code base, including the inclusion of several key new APIs and also much needed 64-bit support.
