List of build automation software

These tools sequence build operations, often based on dependencies, sometimes running tasks in parallel. • ; uses XML format for configuration files • • • • ; written in Python • ; written in Clojure • Boost boost.build – For C++ projects, cross-platform, based on Perforce Jam • ; written in Rust, using Starlark (BUILD file syntax) as Bazel • ; Python-based • • Cargo The Rust package manager and Build tool • D Dub – Official package and build manager of D language • • with a Groovy- and Kotlin-based domain specific language (DSL) combining features of Ant and Maven with more features like a reliable incremental build • • • • ; for Clojure projects • ; one of the earliest build automation tools; many variants • • ; from Microsoft • ; based on Ant • • Perforce Jam – Build tool by Perforce, inspired by Make • • • • ; Python-based • • ; Python-based ==Meta build==

Called meta-build tools, these generate configuration files for other build tools such as those listed above. • ; very popular and integrated with integrated development environments (IDEs) such as Qt Creator, KDevelop and GNOME Builder • • ; superseded by GN which generates files for ninja and other tools • • OpenMake Software Meister • ; integrated with GNOME Builder • ; written in Lua • ==Continuous integration==

Continuous integration systems automate build operations at a relatively high level via features including: scheduling and triggering builds, storing build log and output files and integrating with version control systems. • • • Bitbucket Pipelines and Deployments – Continuous integration for Bitbucket hosted repositories • • • Go continuous delivery – Open source, cross-platform • GitLab Runner – Continuous integration • GitHub Actions – Free continuous integration service for open-source projects • • ; Hudson fork • Spinnaker – Open source multi-cloud continuous delivery service from Netflix and Google • • ==Others==

• A flexible, extensible framework written in Python for modeling build and CI pipelines using a declarative YAML format. • • ==Licensing==
