Description-en: FreeType version of Jam, a replacement for make
This is a version of Jam with additional features and bugfixes, which
is maintained by the FreeType project.
.
Perforce's Jam (formerly called Jam/MR, available in package "jam")
is a powerful and highly customizable utility to build programs and
other things, that can run on Un*x, Nt, VMS, OS/2 and Macintosh MPW,
using portable Jamfiles. It can build large projects spread across
many directories in one pass, and can run jobs in parallel where make
would not.
.
It takes some time to fully apprehend, especially when one's already
accustomed to make(1), but there's no comparison in power when
comparing these two tools.
.
Standard rules:
- can automatically extract header dependencies for C/C++ (you can
customize for you own language)
- provide for automatic "clean", "install", "uninstall" rules,
so that an automake-like tool is not needed
