@ede{} (Emacs Development Environment) is an Emacs extension that
simplifies building and debugging programs in Emacs. @ede{}
can manage or create your makefiles and other building environment
duties, allowing you to concentrate on writing code rather than
support files. It aims to make it much easier for new programmers to
learn and adopt GNU ways of doing things.
In contrast to Emacs's built-in ``project'' support (@pxref{Projects,,,
emacs, GNU Emacs Manual}), which provides lightweight project management
features focused on file navigation and search, @ede{} offers a
structured approach to managing build systems, configuration files, and
project metadata. While built-in projects are well-suited to
general-purpose workflows, @ede{} is useful for projects using tools
like @samp{make}, @samp{automake}, or @samp{autoconf}, or that involve
managing multiple targets, include paths, and build configurations.
