SCons++ - Python-scriptable build tool

PREREQUISITES

• Python >= 3.0
• pybind11
• boost >= 1.44
  • boost::system
  • boost::filesystem
  • boost::program_options
  • Boost Graph Library
• SQLite 3
• scons >= 3.0.0

BUILD

Run scons If required, location of boost installation can be overridden: scons boostdir=/usr/local/include/boost-1_39 boostlibdir=/usr/local/lib boost_suffix=-gcc43-mt-1_39

RUNNING

running resulting scons++ program will try to find SConstruct++ or SContruct file in current directory and build it as a SCons script. scons++ -F make will work in Make mode instead, parsing Makefiles. Running ./scons++ --help will show all options.

scons check will run scons++ ad-hoc regression test suite and compile "Hello,world" program located in examples/hello with scons++

Whenever run, scons++ will leave graph.dot file in current directory which contains the dependency graph in Graphviz DOT format. If Graphviz is installed, you can use dot utilty to massage the .dot file into more appealing form: dot -Tpng graph.dot > graph.png
