It overlays rake with project structure includind dependencies between projects. It is currently very java oriented, but c++ can be added. Brad: Did you look at buildr?

Rake just doesn't work well for hierarchical projects and it has no concept of construction environments which SCons does well. The SCons way of defining new builders is kind of clunky compared to rake but out of the box for building C++ projects it is really fantastic. Once nice feature is that I do not have to define a 'clean' rule. SCons knows what it built so it knows how to clean. <br> <br>Brad <br> <br> Unfortunately I choose SCons which is written in Python over rake for building c++ projects.

It *is * coolness at is coolest. Using it to build C++ projects, automatic image processing, and build Flash animations with mtasc and swfmill. Rake is such fun, are you sure it's legal?
