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.
Build
Open Source - A software build system implemented on top of GNU make featuring position-independent non-recursive multi-makefile include-based structure, complete inter-project dependency tracking, and extensible translator framework.
Cook
Freeware - A make replacement featuring file fingerprints, dependency scanning, viewpathing, parallel threads, distributed rsh builds, cross compiling, and build actions in the "cook" description language.
NAnt
Freeware - Not Ant is like Ant, but uses C# and .NET technologies.
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.
Sham
Freeware - A tiny command-line prefix tool that can track dependencies for a file automatically without the need for a Makefile.
Jmk
Freeware - A make program written in Java, featuring a traditional make description language and shell command target actions.
PVM GNU Make
Freeware - A modified GNU make that uses the Oakridge PVM Parallel Virtual Machine to perform parallel distributed builds.
A-A-P
Open Source - A-A-P is an experimental make tool. Features include a special AAP makefile syntax, automated dependency support for Unix C programs, and a GUI interface written in Python.
Nmake
Lucent - Features dependency scanning, viewpaths, parallel and distributed rsh execution, a coshell, compiled makefiles, C preprocessor, variable editing, and a powerful Make rule language.
TrMake
Open Source - A modular makefile system for multi-platform C++ development in Unix environment using GNU make 3.80 or higher, featuring modular makefiles and transparent handling of dependencies and sources of multiple projects.
Cons
Freeware - A make replacement written in Perl featuring MD5 file content and build signatures, dependency scanning, viewpathing for source and derived files, multidirectory builds, and Perl build actions.
ElectricAccelerator
Electric Cloud - A make replacement that distributes builds across multiple cluster machines for faster builds. Features automatic code dependency detection (and correction in some cases), and plug-compatibility with GNU Make and Nmake.
GNU Make
Freeware - A make program featuring pattern-matched viewpaths, parallel threads, multiple platforms, conditional directives, makefile regeneration, and an advanced Make description language.
Opus Make
Opus - A multiplatform make featuring dependency scanning, suffix-specific viewpaths, extended command and macro modifiers, CPP preprocessor directives, and iterators in the Make rule language.
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.
Jam
Freeware - A make replacement featuring dependency scanning, per-target viewpathing, parallel threads, multiple platforms, variant builds, and control flow statements in the Jam description language.
SCons
Freeware - A make replacement like Cons, written in Python and featuring MD5 file signatures, dependency scanning, parallel build threads, viewpathing, multidirectory builds, and Python build actions.
Speedy Make
Freeware - A very simple make replacement that uses an XML file (reminiscent of Ant) to specify files and actions to be executed on those files.
