Just tried out tup. Looks nasty...
Guys, have a look the the page http://gittup.org/tup/make_vs_tup.html
The guy is funny and knows about the drinking thing..

Freddie, did you ever apply tup on a ChibiOS build? I'd like to try that, but don't wanna write the bunches of tupfiles then...Sadly, it doesn't have a makefile compability mode.

Cheers

We could also move to a cmake based build system. I think there was also some initial work done in this direction.

What are the advantages of cmake over make in such a relatively small project?
Make is a standard tool on all unix distributions (it's in every base-devel package). About windows I don't know.
There are also alternatives such as SCons.

IMHO cmake is good for cross platform software and when you have lots of external dependencies. I'm not sure either really applies to our work with ChibiOs.

Generally I think we're OK with make for command line folks and maybe eclipse projects for those that want an IDE.

The website is really funny indeed (;

Unfortunately no, but to be honest Tupfiles are much much simplier than typical Makefile (; You can checkout a NuttX build with tup that I've done some time ago - https://github.com/freddiechopin/NuttX/tree/tup_build . In reality 99% of Tupfiles are identical...

With tup you can forget about problems with parallelization, dependancies and speed - it's as fast as it gets and really correct (;

There are also alternatives such as SCons.

This one is said to be the slowest of them all (;

4\/3!!

Sorry, never tried it myself
