Makefile Generators

Makefile generators reduce the human costs of software builds by automating some of the tedious and error-prone work of creating makefiles. The makefile generation problem is very difficult to solve, so most makefile generators are simple. They depend upon human labor for the difficult parts of makefile construction.

Simple generators produce dependency files by scanning source files for include file statements. Intermediate generators produce whole makefiles by expanding manually-constructed input files. Advanced generators produce whole makefiles from scratch, with no manually-constructed input files or human labor required.

Sites in Makefile Generators

GNU Automake
Freeware - Generates makefile.in files from makefile.am input files, as part of the official GNU coding standards and build process. Requires GNU autoconf.
Imake
Freeware - Generates traditional makefiles by using the CPP preprocessor and makedepend programs to assemble makefiles from templates and Imakefile control files. From the MIT X11 project.
Makedep
Freeware - A dependency generator that analyzes C/C++ source code and generates a dependency file for inclusion into traditional makefiles.
Makeit
Freeware - Generates GNU Makefiles for C/C++ projects, featuring dependency scanning and variant compilation support. Part of the OSE application development framework.
CMake
Freeware - Generates traditional Unix/Windows makefiles for C/C++ projects from manually created input files written in the CMake language.
Bakefile
Freeware - Generates traditional makefiles from a compiler-independent build tasks. Features output of Makefile.in files for autoconf, makefiles for vcc/bcc compilers, and use on wxWindows new build system.
Makedepend
Freeware - A dependency generator for C/C++ code used by Imake from the X11 distribution. Can be used without Imake to generate makefile dependency files.
Smart Makefile Now
Codefast - Smart makefile, perlfile, and antfile generators for software processes, including software builds. Features collections, dependency scanning, a knowledge base, makefiles for parallel builds, multiple platforms.
