How does Lightcast define a skill?
Automake

Automake is a tool used for automatically generating makefiles used for building software. It allows developers to easily maintain consistency across different platforms and build systems by automating the build process. Automake is typically used in conjunction with the GNU Autotools suite and is commonly used in the development of open-source software projects. Competency in Automake requires familiarity with Unix-based operating systems, programming languages such as C and C++, and build automation concepts.

CMake is a cross-platform, open-source build system that is used to manage the build process of software projects. It provides a way to automate the compilation, testing, and packaging of software across different platforms, making it easier to develop and maintain code that can be compiled and run on different systems. CMake uses a script-like language to define the build configuration and dependencies, which makes it easier to create and manage complex software projects. It's a widely used tool in software development, especially in the C++ community.

GNU Autoconf is a tool for generating configure scripts that automatically configure software source code packages to adapt to many kinds of UNIX-like systems. It was created to help maintain compatibility between software packages, particularly within the GNU project. Autoconf is part of the GNU build system.

GNU Build Systems refer to a collection of tools and methodologies used for automating the process of building software from source code. This skill encompasses understanding the configuration, compilation, and installation processes that enable the creation of executable programs and libraries. Knowledge of GNU Build Systems is utilized to manage dependencies, streamline the build process, and ensure consistent software deployment across different environments.

SCons is a software tool used for build automation and management. It is an open-source program written in Python that allows developers to specify the entire build process in a single file. SCons can handle complex build tasks, such as conditional builds, parallel builds, and dependency management. It is an alternative to other build automation tools like Make and Ant.
