Make programs help to manage the complexity of buildingsoftware programs from many source file and librarycomponents. Make programs read Makefiles, which aredescription files that specify the parts and processes thatshould be used to build a software product. Make programs have been the dominant programs for doingsoftware builds for more than 25 years. The first makeprogram was created in the mid-1970s. In the 1980s, makewas extended with more advanced features. In the 1990s,several new make replacement programs were created to offernew description languages for makefiles.

  • SMK
    Freeware - A make replacement, written in Python featuring global dependencies view, extensible dependency scanning, parallel build threads, multidirectory builds, automatic cleaning and extensibility via Python classes.
  • Sham
    Freeware - A tiny command-line prefix tool that can track dependencies for a file automatically without the need for a Makefile.
  • PBS
    Open Source - A Make replacement written in Perl featuring hierarchical builds, dependency graph node triggers, no built in rules, PBS/Perl syntax for PBSfiles, a Perl API for the system, and shell or Perl build actions.
  • KJam
    A make replacement based on Jam, with more powerful features than the original Jam. Features dependency scanning, per-target viewpathing, and control flow. Distributes builds across multiple cluster machines for faster builds.
  • TrMake
