&SCons; is a software construction tool (build tool, or make tool)
|
||
|
|
implemented in Python, which uses Python scripts as "configuration
|
||
|
|
files" for software builds. Based on the design which won the
|
||
|
|
Software Carpentry build tool competition, &SCons; solves a number of
|
||
|
|
problems associated with other build tools, especially including the
|
||
|
|
classic and ubiquitous &Make; itself.

Distinctive features of &SCons; include: a modular design that
|
||
|
|
lends itself to being embedded in other applications; a global
|
||
|
|
view of all dependencies in the source tree; an improved model for
|
||
|
|
parallel (<option>-j</option>) builds; automatic scanning of files for
|
||
|
|
dependencies; use of MD5 signatures for deciding whether a file
|
||
|
|
is up-to-date; use of traditional file timestamps instead of
|
||
|
|
MD5 signatures available as an option;
|
||
|
|
use of Python functions or objects to build target files; easy user
|
||
|
|
extensibility.

This paper discusses the goals of the &SCons; project, gives an overview
|
||
|
|
of the design of &SCons; itself, describes the development process used,
|
||
|
|
and discusses future plans and directions for the tool.
