Cabin

Cabin is an opinionated C/C++ build tool written in Rust. Inspired by Cargo, it uses a predictable project structure and declarative metadata to reduce build configuration boilerplate.

It is designed for conventional C/C++ projects that want a simpler, more reproducible build workflow without relying on custom build languages.
