+ABOUT SCONS
Distinctive features of SCons include:
+ - a global view of all dependencies; no multiple passes to get
+ everything built properly
- configuration files are Python scripts, allowing the full use of a
- real scripting language to solve build problems
+ real scripting language to solve difficult build problems
- a modular architecture allows the SCons Build Engine to be
embedded in other Python software
- - a global view of all dependencies; no multiple passes to get
- everything built
- the ability to scan files for implicit dependencies (#include files);
- - improved parallel build (-j) support
- - use of MD5 signatures to decide if a file has changed
+ - improved parallel build (-j) support that provides consistent
+ build speedup regardless of source tree layout
+ - use of MD5 signatures to decide if a file has really changed; no
+ need to "touch" files to fool make that something is up-to-date
- easily extensible through user-defined Builder and Scanner objects
- build actions can be Python code, as well as external commands
