novmake

novmake is a build automation tool. It is designed to simplify the process of compiling and managing software projects. The tool aims to provide a modern and efficient alternative to traditional build systems by offering features such as dependency management, parallel execution, and cross-platform compatibility. novmake parses project definitions written in a specific configuration language, typically a lightweight markup format or a dedicated scripting language, to understand the project's structure, source files, and build steps. It then orchestrates the compilation, linking, and other necessary tasks to produce the final executable or library. The tool's design emphasizes ease of use and flexibility, allowing developers to define complex build workflows with relatively straightforward configurations. novmake is often employed in projects where build speed, reproducibility, and platform independence are important considerations. Its development is driven by the need for a more streamlined and integrated build experience in modern software development environments.
