Automate build process of minGW/msys using script like ANT

I am havin开发者_JS百科g a C++ project in windows XP. I am compiling this project using minGW/msys. I want to automate this task using some scriping language like ANT. but I could not google it. Please help me to automate minGW/msys compilation on windows.

make is the established tool to do this and actually the blueprint for ant (which was started to be a syntax-simplified make and is now a horrible mess, just like everything Java, but that's beside the main point). To simplify program site configuration and Makefile generation, see autoconf and automake.
