Any tools that writes the build jam files automatically for a big project?
Hi all, Any tools that writes the build jam files automatically for a big project? If there is any good IDE that takes care of all these issues then it is also welcome. Considering the fact, that the project that I am going to embark upon will involve a lot of code and dependencies, I really don't want to get bogged down and stuck in just writing the correct makefiles. So, It would be great if I can use some tool that generates these jamfiles automatically for me. I am also searching for some good IDE for developing C++ programs something like we have Eclipse for Java. Thanks in advance! Awaiting a reply.

If you want the tool to take care of all the details, why do you insist on using jam? Many (all decent) IDEs generate perefctly usable makefiles and take care of all the dependencies automatically. Is there any reason this doesn't suit you?

Eclipse works for C++ too. Then there's also NetBeans, Ultimate++,.. and, of course, MS Visual Studio if you don't mind paying.
