[url=\"http://www.perforce.com/jam/jam.html\"]Jam[/url] is a software build tool that makes building simple things simple and building complicated things manageable. It has been freely available as C source for many years from the Perforce Public Depot and is widely used to build commercial and academic software. Jam is a very good solution for conventional C/C++ compile-and-link builds.
Because Jam understands C/C++ dependencies, there is no need to declare header or object files. The built-in Jam rule "Main" handles header file dependencies and object files both automatically and on-the-fly.
Jam features
Unintrusive and clean
Jam is small, it has negligible CPU overhead, and it doesn't create or leave behind temporary files.
Scalable
Jam is able to build large projects spread across many directories in a single pass and can manage and distribute build steps to multiple processors on one or more networked machines.
Highly portable
Jam runs on UNIX, VMS, NT, OS/2, Macintosh OS X, and Macintosh MPW. Most Jamfiles are also portable.
Multiplatform
Platform independent rules and platform specific actions can be defined separately from dependency rules.
Customizable
Developers can enhance/extend Jam by creating user defined rules to utilize other built-in directives.
Language
Jam includes flow-control statments, variables, and a few other features of general purpose languages.
Free
Jam is free and can be incorporated into commercial products without licensing restrictions.

This actually looks really cool, seems abit like it's for people who don't want to go through the procedure to code programs properly themselves *shrugs*
Love is all a matter of timing.
It's no good meeting the right person too soon or too late.
If I'd live in another time or place...
...my story might have had a very different ending.

I found it in a developer's blog; if you want, I can find the link for you - he was comparing three different utilities (I think)...and he had a bit of write-up about them.

That would be nice, may end up downloading this later on.
