Any good building tools for a C++ project, which can replace make?

i'm wondering if there is any nice and neat tool to replace the GNU Autotools or Make to build a very large C++ project, which are such a complicated thing to use.

It is simple to generate all the files that de Autotools require if the project is small, but if the source code is divided in many directories, with multiple third party libraries and many dependencies, you fall into the "Autotools Hell"..

thanks for any recommendations

  • The Google V8 JavaScript Engine is written in C++ and uses SCons, so I guess that's one vote for it.
