OMake includes an accurate, automated dependency analysis based on MD5 digests. It also includes a stand-alone command-line interpreter, osh, that can be used as an interactive shell for debugging the build files. OMake’s syntax is a full object oriented language. Features of the OMake language include integer and floating point arithmetic, scoped expressions, higher order functions, multiple inheritance, pattern matching, runtime exceptions, lexers, and LALR(1) parsers.
