COOK is a software build-automation tool made with a goal of letting you, the programmer, to utilize the most elegant and powerful programming language - Common Lisp - for managing your software builds. You write a recipe file which describes what objectives must be constructed. COOK will load and process this file, then produce either a regular Makefile or a Bourne Shell script, which will actually perform the task of building and installing your targets.
