For example, the macro CC is frequently used in makefiles to refer to the location of a C compiler. If used consistently throughout the makefile, then the compiler used can be changed by changing the value of the macro rather than changing each rule command that invokes the compiler. Macros are commonly named in all-caps:
BitBake – Build automation tool tailored for building Linux distributions; written in Python; Boot – build automation and dependency management tool; written in Clojure; Boost boost.build – For C++ projects, cross-platform, based on Perforce Jam
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.
The qmake tool helps simplify the build process for development projects across different platforms. It automates the generation of Makefiles so that only a few lines of information are needed to create each Makefile. You can use qmake for any software project, whether it is written with Qt or not.
A-A-P, a tool used to download, build and install software via Makefile-like "recipes"; Anaconda (installer), an open-source system installer for Linux distributions primarily used in Fedora Linux, CentOS, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
The following example shows how to use Bison and flex to write a simple calculator program (only addition and multiplication) and a program for creating an abstract syntax tree. The next two files provide definition and implementation of the syntax tree functions.
The generated "Makefile.in"s are portable and compliant with the Makefile conventions in the GNU Coding Standards, and may be used by configure scripts to generate a working Makefile. [2] The Free Software Foundation maintains automake as one of the GNU programs, and as part of the GNU build system.
Buildroot is a set of Makefiles and patches that simplifies and automates the process of building a complete and bootable Linux environment for an embedded system, while using cross-compilation to allow building for multiple target platforms on a single Linux-based development system.
