    <p>I've used <a href="http://www.scons.org/" rel="noreferrer">SCons</a> for over a year now and it's really cool. It's a full build system, not a build scripts generator.</p> <p>It's Python based, and you write the SConstruct and SConscript (equivalent of Makefile) in Python which allows you to call any available library you may wish for and a much clearer syntax that what a Makefile authorize.</p> <p>Since Python is crossplatform, so is SCons, no problem there.</p> <p>It comes bundled with a good number of targets:</p> <ul> <li>detects the binary available and automatically maps a number of extensions toward the correct binaries</li> <li>detects the correct extensions for your objects/libraries depending on the OS, though you can override it</li> <li>provides facilities for common operations (to be delayed after the build) like Move, Copy, Tar, and you can provide your own python scripts and hook them</li> <li>works out of the box and yet provides many hooks of customization at every level</li> </ul> <p>It's really efficient, and even proposes advanced features (like storing a hash of the preprocessed file in a sqlite db instead of using the timestamp) even though you decide of your strategy in the end.</p> <p>It also offers dependencies cycle detection for free (something that definitely does not come with Makefiles) and the interface is generally just better / automated.</p> <p>Did I say it was efficient ? Well it obviously allows for multiple jobs to be executed in parallel ;)</p> <p>And it's also free, like in free drink, feel free to contribute ;)</p> <p>I can only recommend it.</p>

    1. COSCons sounds really interesting for me and there seems to be good IDE integration as well: http://www.scons.org/wiki/IDEIntegration Any downsides?

    2. COSorry for the double post, but here is a nice comparison with almost all other tools: http://www.scons.org/wiki/SconsVsOtherBuildTools

    3. COAs mentionned, properly configured Makefiles are faster, it's just they are less readable. At work we are currently going toward a custom solution (that I can't share) which involves Makefile generation and we will only use SCons for custom pre-build / post-build steps which don't fit in there. But then we have some large projects around :) For small projects you'll probably not notice the speed difference.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
