Compiling/linking/running in C/C++

build managers in general (e.g. Ant, Maven, Gradle, etc.)

For Java:

• Ant: “Another neat tool”
  • From Apache (the folks that brought you the web server)
  • Uses XML instead of weird tab-based syntax
  • Not dependent on Unix, per se (OS independent)
  • Otherwise, similar to Make, generally
• Maven
  • Also from Apache
  • Different philosophy: declarative instead of imperative
  • Also has a “Maven Central”: package/dependency manager for jar files
    • similar to Python’s pip system, Ruby gems, Node npm
  • You specify what you want instead of “how”
  • Much more reliant on specific naming/directory conventions (similar to Ruby on Rails, it’s an “opinionated” framework)
• Gradle
  • Yet another choice, used in Android programming
  • Scripting language is called groovy
