Has CMAKE been considered ? CMAKE should work equally well on windows(visual studio and Cygwin) and linux. You can create a new build system around CMAKE while keeping the current Makefile system alive, and deprecate it later, once the CMAKE based build system is stable.

Thanks for the suggestion. Does CMAKE support configuration system as well ? Another factor to consider is the familiarity of the build system with the community, and we think Kbuild would rank high on that.

Yup. Usually the flow for using cmake is to first configure the project after which cmake generates build files which may be visual studio solution files or make files or ninja build files. I do agree though that cmake will not match kbuild with respect to familiarity but it seems like more and more projects(including zephyr) are moving to cmake. Just a thought :) don’t have a strong preference.

OK, we will have look at CMake since Zephyr seems to be making the switch. Thanks for bring this to our notice.
