EBuild Alternatives
EBuild is described as 'software project build, dependency management and reporting technology. The aim is to be able to tackle any build problem in a structured, declarative and elegant way. It is extensible via a plugin interface' and is an app in the Development category. There are more than 10 alternatives to EBuild for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD and Android. The best alternative is CMake, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like EBuild are GNU Make (Free, Open Source), SCons (Free, Open Source), Maven (Free, Open Source) and Gradle (Free, Open Source).
- CMake is a family of tools designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files.
- Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other non-source files of a program from the program's source files.No screenshots yet
- SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a next-generation build 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.No screenshots yet
- Apache Maven is a Java-based tool for build automation and project management (in software development). It is centered around a Project Object Model (POM) described in a XML file that describes the project structure and its dependencies to other components and libraries.
- Gradle is build automation evolved. Gradle can automate the building, testing, publishing, deployment and more of software packages or other types of projects such as generated static websites, generated documentation or indeed anything else.No screenshots yet
- The main design point of Meson is that every moment a developer spends writing or debugging build definitions is a second wasted. So is every second spent waiting for the build system to actually start compiling code.No screenshots yet
- Apache Ant is an Open Source Java-based build tool (for software development). It uses XML files to describe, structure and control the build process.No screenshots yet
- Rake is a software task management and build automation tool. It allows you to specify tasks and describe dependencies as well as to group tasks in a namespace.No screenshots yet
- Cake (C# Make) is a cross-platform build automation system with a C# DSL for tasks such as compiling code, copying files and folders, running unit tests, compressing files and building NuGet packages.
