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, Maven, SCons and Gradle.
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.

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.
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.
