1 Introduction

EBuild is a Make clone, and it functions likewise. It is a tool that helps you in recompiling necessary parts of a large application after modification.

You write a file .build in the directory that contains the sources of your project. The file contains info about which sources depend on which, and what actions need to be performed if a module or exe needs to be rebuilt.

EBuild checks the dates of the files to see if a source has been modified after the last compilation, and if the source uses modules that also have been modified, it will compile these first.
