- SCons - a software construction tool
-
- Version 2.0.1
-
-
-This is an alpha release of SCons, a tool for building software (and
-other files). 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.
-
-
