A class of tools for building (compiling, testing and installing) software. make(1) is the cannonical build tool, but Ant is becoming widespread in Java-centric projects and many projects still use handcrafted bash(1) scripts. Monolithic IDEs are also build tools, but some IDEs interface to specialist build tools (VisualStudio with nmake, Emacs with make(1) or Ant).
