http://bakefile.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=Bakefile.Comparisons

CMake is the most similar to Bakefile from these. It generates
semi-native makefiles -- while the makefile is for the native make
tool, it still requires presence of CMake during compilation. Bakefile
has no such requirement. CMake also does (auto-)configuration (like
Autoconf), which Bakefile doesn't.


I guess you could also try on the KDE ML since they have investigated
multiple solutions before choosing cmake (I do not recall they ever
mention bakefiles)...
