I've used both scons and its re-write waf. <br> <br>I consider them to be the true "next generation" build tools. As far <br>ahead of all the various "make" flavors as git and hg are ahead of cvs. <br>
<br>They both have decent docs and user communities, but there is a bit of a <br>learning curve :(. <br> <br>On 13-11-28 17:47 , gettimothy wrote: <br>> While upgrading my Slackware to 14.1 so I could install Bochs and re-compiling my apps I saw that esr's gpsd requires something called scons for its build system: <br>

Enter the following into a file named SConstruct: <br>> Program('hello.c') This minimal configuration file gives SCons two pieces of information: what you want to build (an executable program), and the input file from which you want it built (the hello.c file). Program is a builder_method, a Python call that tells SCons that you want to build an executable program. <br>

On a POSIX-compliant system like Linux or UNIX, you'll see something like: <br>> % scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... scons: done reading SConscript files. scons: Building targets ... cc -o hello.o -c hello.c cc -o hello hello.o scons: done building targets. On a Windows system with the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, you'll see something like: <br>
