I like Gradle too, although I very much recommend having a look at QBS (Qt Build Suite, although unlike Qmake it&#x27;s not really bound to Qt and can be used for general build scripting). I&#x27;ve used it about a year ago and was really amazed to see what was probably the first sane build tool I&#x27;ve used for years. Of course Gradle is rooted in (yet not limited to) the JVM ecosystem and QBS started as a C++ build tool, so they are not really equivalent, but comparing the ease of use, predictability and the overall impression, QBS beats Gradle by a full grade in my opinion.
