FAKE is a clone of Make/Rake using F# as the DSL, making it useful for building .Net applications.

 

Here is an example build.fsx script (from http://www.navision-blog.de/2009/04/01/getting-started-with-fake-a-f-sha...):

#light
// include Fake libs
#I "tools\FAKE"
#r "FakeLib.dll"
open Fake 

// properties
let buildDir = @".\build\"
let appReferences  = !+ @"src\app\**\*.csproj" |> Scan

// Targets
Target "Clean" (fun () ->
  CleanDir buildDir
)
Target "BuildApp" (fun () ->
  let target = "Build"
  // compile all projects below src\app\
  let apps = MSBuild buildDir target appReferences
  // log the output files
  Log "AppBuild-Output: " apps
)
Target "Default" (fun () ->
  trace "Hello World from FAKE"
)


// dependencies
"BuildApp" <== ["Clean"]
"Default"  <== ["BuildApp"]

// start build
run "Default"
