Aap Description

A portable build tool (make replacement) with internet support The Aap program executes recipes and it is a kind of super-make program. In a recipe you describe how to perform a certain task. Like a Makefile it contains dependencies and build commands. Additionally, many powerful features are included, such as automatic dependency checking, using signatures in addition to time stamps, automatic downloading of files, publishing files on the internet and much more. Implemented in Python and Python can be used in build commands.Aap testing has been done on Unix, Mac OS X and Windows. The automatic mechanisms only work for C. You can also add support for other languages.Using a recipe works better than a Makefile in many ways:· Uses signatures to avoid trouble with timestamps· Integrated support for up- and downloading· Avoids shell commands for greater portability· Includes the power of Python script· Automatically figures out dependencies on included files· Avoids line continuation mistakes· Good support for a project with multiple directories Here are some key features of "Aap": · Build a program by just specifying the program name and the source files · Maintain a web site (the A-A-P site is generated and uploaded with a recipe) · Download the latest version of files · Distribute files to several servers at once · Obtain a module from CVS · Commit changes to CVS; add and remove files automatically · Generate and filter files · Build several variants and on multiple platforms with little effort
