Remake - GNU Make with comprehensible tracing and a debugger

remake is a patched and modernized version of GNU make utility that adds improved error reporting, the ability to trace execution in a comprehensible way, and a debugger. Some of the features of the debugger are:

see the target call stack.
set breakpoints on targets,
show and set variables,
execute arbitrary "make" code
issue shell commands while stopped in the middle of execution,
inspect target descriptions
write a file with the commands of the target expanded,

However, if you are looking for the plain vanilla GNU Make, try here. We also have a couple of cool debuggers for GNU Bash and Python.
