build2

build2 is an open source (MIT), cross-platform build toolchain that provides sufficient depth and flexibility to develop and package complex C/C++ projects. The toolchain is a hierarchy of tools consisting of a general-purpose build system, package manager (for package consumption), and project manager (for project development). This package contains the build2 build system.

For more information refer to the build2 home page and the build2 project organization on GitHub.

This README file contains information that is more appropriate for development or packaging of build2. If you simply want to install and use it, then rather refer to the installation instructions. Note also that the packaged development snapshots are available as well.
