SCons is implemented in Python, and its "configuration -files" are actually Python scripts, allowing you to use the full power -of a real scripting language to solve build problems. You do not, -however, need to know Python to use SCons effectively. - - -LATEST VERSION -============== - -Before going further, you can check that this package you have is -the latest version by checking the SCons download page at: - - http://www.scons.org/download.html - - -ABOUT SCONS PACKAGES -==================== - -The complete SCons system is comprised of three separate packages: - - scons - The scons script itself, plus the SCons build engine - installed into an SCons-specific library directory. - - python-scons - The SCons build engine, installed into the standard - Python library directory. - - scons-script [THIS PACKAGE] - Only the scons script itself. - -Depending on what you want to do with SCons, you may need to install -additional (or other) packages: - - If you just want to use scons (the script) to build software: - - Do NOT install this package. Install the scons package instead, - which contains a copy of both the script and the build engine. - You will not need to install any other packages. - - If you do NOT want to use the scons script, but you want to use the - SCons build engine in other Python software: - - Do NOT install this package. Install the python-scons package - instead. - - If you want to use the scons script AND you want to use the SCons - build engine in other Python software: - - Do NOT install this package. Install both the scons and - python-scons packages instead. - - Note that this installs two separate copies of the build engine, - one (in an SCons-specific library directory) used by the scons - script itself and one (in the standard Python library) used by - other software. This allows you the flexibility to upgrade - one build engine without affecting the other. - - If you want the scons script and other Python software to use the - same version of the build engine: - - Install this package AND the python-scons package. - - -INSTALLATION -============ - -To install this package, simply run the provided Python-standard setup -script as follows: - - # python setup.py - -You should have system installation privileges (that is, "root" or -"Administrator") when running the setup.py script. - - -DOCUMENTATION -============= - -Documentation for SCons is available at: - - http://www.scons.org/doc.html - - -LICENSING -========= - -SCons is distributed under the MIT license, a full copy of which is -available in the LICENSE.txt file.
