No that I know of, that's because I rolled my own. On Emacs proper, there is project.el which has a TODO about project-build: ;; * Build tool related functionality. Start with a `project-build' ;; command, which should provide completions on tasks to run, and ;; maybe allow entering some additional arguments. which is a bit vague. Creating your own command to be used instead of `compile' (or advising it) is quite easy, so easy that the value of any future built-in functionality is questionable given the vast differences on build setups that you will find out there.
