SkyBuild is a simple build system written in Python that I created to be able to build my source codes in various environments without having to figure out what compilers are installed and having to manually execute them with the right flags and figure out dependencies. It’s similar to “make” in many ways. It’s used by a number of my private projects and because I plan to publish them soon, I am releasing SkyBuild so you can actually compile my projects should you want to.
SkyBuild also includes py2cmd, which can be used to convert a .py script to a .cmd script (that runs itself as a Python script using python.exe. This saves you having to type “.py” after the name of the script. I myself use it to convert “build.py” to “build.cmd“, so I can just type “build” to build my projects.
SkyBuild is hosted on Google code here.
