Build automation made simple.

Generic Build Support is a way of setting up a directory structure combined with generic scripts to accommodate Build Automation for almost any kind of software project.
Building information is kept in dedicated files enabling automatic generation of make files, independent of platform or SCM System.

The key aspect of GBS is the directory structure.
Its rigid and strict nature makes sure that everything has its place so that it can be easily retrieved and it is assured that any GBS command will run on any SubSystem created according to the GBS Directory Structure rules.
This directory structure makes it easy to swap and/or share software between projects (interchange ability) and ensures an unified way of working.
And yes: where needed there is all the freedom you need!

You can run GBS parallel on Windows 10, Windows 10 WSL and Linux systems, sharing the same physical directory structure.
