This is NASM - the famous Netwide Assembler. THIS PAGE IS OUT OF DATE; we no longer use any Sourceforge services other than mailing lists. Get the current versions from http://www.nasm.us/.

The LAMPAS project is a combination of common Open Source tools that provides a unified system from where administrators, developers and other parties can manage a large application cluster. The underlying platform is LAMP based.

Makepp, a build program which has a number of features that allow for reliable builds and simpler build files, is a drop-in replacement for GNU make. It supports almost all of the syntax that GNU make supports, and can be used with makefiles produced by utilities such as automake. It is called makepp (or make++) because it was designed with special support for C++, which has since been extended to other languages like Swig or embedded SQL. Some features that makepp adds to make are: greatly improved handling of builds that involve multiple makefiles (recursive make is no longer necessary); automatic scanning for include files; rebuild triggered if build command changes; checksum-based signature methods for reliable builds, smart enough to ignore whitespace or comment changes; extensibility through Perl programming (within your makefile); repositories (automatically importing files from another tree); build caches (not recompiling identically what a user of the same cache already did

tmake is a tool which auto-creates Makefile, IDE project files (and possibly even autoconf files !) from a very simple template format. The majority of tmake was written by trolltech (makers of qt), and this version on sourceforge has some enhancement

Overview of pre-defined compiler macros for standards, compilers, operating systems, and hardware architectures.

The bootstrapper program is designed to work along with autoconf, automake and libtool. It will scan a project's configure.in and generate a custom made bootstrap script which will then be used to create a configure script. It will also be able to clean

This project has a lively SVN repository for build recipes, over 1000 F/OSS softwares are available. The tool "pkgbuild" is for building packages on Solaris 11/OpenIndiana from RPM-like spec files. The tool also runs on OmniOS. If you want, you can create new style IPS packages and old style SVR4 packages for Solaris 10. The tool is not updated frequently, but the following "build recipes" for pkgbuild is updated every day. For a few hundred build-recipes see the sub-project "spec-files-extra" or "SFE". We already have stacks of e.g. multimedia players mplyer/vlc or postfix/dovecot/cyrus-sasl/spamfiltering. But there is so much more to be added! Volunteers to the build-recipes are always welcome. Please ask on the mailing list or irc://irc.freenode.org/#pkgbuild Please proceed now with the link below and remember to visit "SFE" on the left and browse through the available packages list in SVN. Or go for one of the binary repositories with ready-to-use IPS packages.

The DevTools project is an open-source (BSD-licensed) set of development tools, including a set of shared gmake-style utility makefiles, the TLM version-control wrapper, and various other little utility C++ programs and Perl and Python scripts.

Module::Build is a pure-perl replacement for the ExtUtils::MakeMaker module. It performs several actions during compilation, testing, and installation of modules. It also performs several tasks useful to module authors, such as testing and bundling a

A flatfile-based metadata repository and integration with common build tools (make, ant, others). A code generation framework is included and is useful to conditionally generate code objects based on the deployment environment. Metadata+deploy = :)

A perlscript to build source code into programs, like make in purpose but without makefiles. Dynamically finds the dependencies at build time. Build in support for cross-platform programs, multi threaded compiling and distcc.

Colormake2 is a fork of colormake, a program to colorize output from "make" executions.

JMake is a small tool written in Perl (so Perl is required to run this tool), that helps java programmers do certain things a make is supposed to do, like compiling project, packaging jar file, etc.

A toolkit to create a crossplatform installer for applications using external tools such as the loki_* tools

OpenSBE is a universal software building framework based on Autoconf, GNU Make, Perl and sh. The framework provides a build environment that is platform, language, and compiler independent.

RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying, querying, and updating software packages. This is a port of the RPM software, including rpmbuild and yum/APT-RPM, to Darwin and Mac OS X

Cado is a mature code generation language that operates on standard templates with embedded macros. It is useful for generating source code and other related content (tests, docs, configuations, etc.), deriving from a common project nomenclature.

The script helps commiting changes on several branches in CVS by creating a bunch of CVS commands which the user normally would have to create himself.

libtool-cache is a Perl script that caches the commands executed by GNU libtool to increase compilation speed primarily on systems running Microsoft Windows and using Cygwin. It caches both compile and link commands.

Mingw-portage contain program `minmerge' and collection of scripts to build some packages. Together they allow you to automatically build any supported software packages for 32-bit mingw or 64-bit mingw-w64 and indeed toolchain. Requirements: MSYS & corresponding toolchain.

rpmproc is a perl program designed to make building RPM packages easier. It offers a clear and simple way to build multiple archs, sign packages, upload files to remote or local repositories.

tgen generates a Web site from a collection of input files of a variety of types, using a set of registered HTML autogenerators. Cvs-Brancher allows scheduling of web deployments. vwebedit provides web-based editing of cvs repositories.

A-line is an MPW/Perl-based build system for the development of Mac software which uses simple configuration files to automate construction, packaging, and distribution of software projects such as applications and code resources.

ABIcheck is a tool for checking an application's compliance with a library's defined Application Binary Interface (ABI). It relies on ABI definition information contained in the library. Example definitions are given for GNOME and glibc.
