tup

Tup is a file-based build system for Linux, OSX, and Windows. It inputs a list of file changes and a directed acyclic graph (DAG), then processes the DAG to execute the appropriate commands required to update dependent files. Updates are performed with very little overhead since tup implements powerful build algorithms to avoid doing unnecessary work. Tup is much faster than make.

Example Tupfile

: foreach *.c |> gcc -Wall -c %f -o %o |> %B.o
: *.o |> gcc %f -o %o |> hello
