CONS is a software tool that can be used as an alternative to the 'make' command. It helps in the automatic build process and manages dependencies efficiently with concise code.
Have you ever found yourself executing "make clean; make all" blindly just to ensure your changed files would be rebuilt correctly? Or perhaps you've encountered issues with NFS server syncing, leading to inaccurate builds with Makefiles.
Luckily, CONS provides a host of powerful capabilities not found in other software construction systems, including Make. Although not compatible with Make, CONS is implemented using the increasingly popular programming language Perl.
The good news is that you don't have to be a Perl expert to use CONS effectively, although doing so can unlock even more powerful features. So if you're tired of wrestling with Makefiles and looking for a better way to manage your software projects, give CONS a try.
