remake – GNU make fork with improved error reporting and debugging

Modernized version of GNU make utility that adds improved error reporting, the ability to trace execution in a comprehensible way, and a debugger. Some of the features of the debugger are:

  • see the target call stack

  • set breakpoints on targets

  • show and set variables

  • execute arbitrary “make” code

  • issue shell commands while stopped in the middle of execution

  • inspect target descriptions

  • write a file with the commands of the target expanded
