Currently, I use scons for C/C++ projects, though with a decent amount of stuff built on top of it. When I realized that I had a rudimentary package manager in it, I started thinking that maybe I should go searching for something that already does what I need. I've used make quite a bit, and it is doable for individual projects. Where I start having trouble is managing libraries that may be used across multiple projects. When a library needs to supply its own configuration, and be subject to configuration specified of the project using that library, things get rather complicated, which is why I turned to scons.
