Sets &consvars; for a default list of Tool modules.
Use <emphasis role="bold">default</emphasis>
in the tools list to retain the original defaults,
since the <parameter>tools</parameter> parameter
is treated as a literal statement of the tools
to be made available in that &consenv;, not an addition.
</para>

<para>
The list of tools selected by default is not static,
but is dependent both on
the platform and on the software installed on the platform.
Some tools will not initialize if an underlying command is
not found, and some tools are selected from a list of choices
on a first-found basis. The finished tool list can be
examined by inspecting the <envar>TOOLS</envar> &consvar;
in the &consenv;.
</para>

<para>
On all platforms, all tools from the following list
are selected whose respective conditions are met:
filesystem, wix, lex, yacc, rpcgen, swig,
jar, javac, javah, rmic, dvipdf, dvips, gs,
tex, latex, pdflatex, pdftex, tar, zip, textfile.
</para>

<para>
On Linux systems, the default tools list selects
(first-found): a C compiler from
gcc, intelc, icc, cc;
a C++ compiler from
g++, intelc, icc, cxx;
an assembler from
gas, nasm, masm;
a linker from
gnulink, ilink;
a Fortran compiler from
gfortran, g77, ifort, ifl, f95, f90, f77;
and a static archiver 'ar'.
It also selects all found from the list
m4, rpm.
</para>

<para>
On Windows systems, the default tools list selects
(first-found): a C compiler from
msvc, mingw, gcc, intelc, icl, icc, cc, bcc32;
a C++ compiler from
msvc, intelc, icc, g++, cxx, bcc32;
an assembler from
masm, nasm, gas, 386asm;
a linker from
mslink, gnulink, ilink, linkloc, ilink32;
a Fortran compiler from
gfortran, g77, ifl, cvf, f95, f90, fortran;
and a static archiver from
mslib, ar, tlib;
It also selects all found from the list
msvs, midl.
</para>

<para>
On MacOS systems, the default tools list selects
(first-found): a C compiler from
gcc, cc;
a C++ compiler from
g++, cxx;
an assembler 'as';
a linker from
applelink, gnulink;
a Fortran compiler from
gfortran, f95, f90, g77;
and a static archiver ar.
It also selects all found from the list
m4, rpm.

Default lists for other platforms can be found by

  <varlistentry id="t-docbook">
    <term>docbook</term>
    <listitem><para>This tool tries to make working with Docbook in SCons a little easier.
It provides several toolchains for creating different output formats,
like HTML or PDF. Contained in the package is
a distribution of the Docbook XSL stylesheets as of version 1.76.1.
As long as you don't specify your own stylesheets for customization,
these official versions are picked as default...which should reduce
the inevitable setup hassles for you.
</para>
<para>Implicit dependencies to images and XIncludes are detected automatically
if you meet the HTML requirements. The additional
stylesheet <filename>utils/xmldepend.xsl</filename> by Paul DuBois is used for this purpose.
</para>
<para>Note, that there is no support for XML catalog resolving offered! This tool calls
the XSLT processors and PDF renderers with the stylesheets you specified, that's it.
The rest lies in your hands and you still have to know what you're doing when
resolving names via a catalog. 
</para>
<para>For activating the tool "docbook", you have to add its name to the Environment constructor,
like this
</para>
<screen>env = Environment(tools=['docbook'])
</screen>
<para>On its startup, the Docbook tool tries to find a required <literal>xsltproc</literal> processor, and
a PDF renderer, e.g. <literal>fop</literal>. So make sure that these are added to your system's environment
<literal>PATH</literal> and can be called directly, without specifying their full path.
</para>
<para>For the most basic processing of Docbook to HTML, you need to have installed
</para>
<itemizedlist><listitem><para>the Python <literal>lxml</literal> binding to <literal>libxml2</literal>, or
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>a standalone XSLT processor, currently detected are <literal>xsltproc</literal>, <literal>saxon</literal>, <literal>saxon-xslt</literal>
and <literal>xalan</literal>.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Rendering to PDF requires you to have one of the applications
<literal>fop</literal> or <literal>xep</literal> installed.
</para>

<para>Creating a HTML or PDF document is very simple and straightforward. Say
</para>
<screen>env = Environment(tools=['docbook'])
env.DocbookHtml('manual.html', 'manual.xml')
env.DocbookPdf('manual.pdf', 'manual.xml')
</screen>
<para>to get both outputs from your XML source <filename>manual.xml</filename>. As a shortcut, you can
give the stem of the filenames alone, like this:
</para>
<screen>env = Environment(tools=['docbook'])
env.DocbookHtml('manual')
env.DocbookPdf('manual')
</screen>
<para>and get the same result. Target and source lists are also supported:
</para>
<screen>env = Environment(tools=['docbook'])
env.DocbookHtml(['manual.html','reference.html'], ['manual.xml','reference.xml'])
</screen>
<para>or even
</para>
<screen>env = Environment(tools=['docbook'])
env.DocbookHtml(['manual','reference'])
</screen>
<important><para>Whenever you leave out the list of sources, you may not specify a file extension! The
Tool uses the given names as file stems, and adds the suffixes for target and source files
accordingly.
</para>
</important>
<para>The rules given above are valid for the Builders &b-link-DocbookHtml;, 
&b-link-DocbookPdf;, &b-link-DocbookEpub;, &b-link-DocbookSlidesPdf; and &b-link-DocbookXInclude;. For the 
&b-link-DocbookMan; transformation you
can specify a target name, but the actual output names are automatically
set from the <literal>refname</literal> entries in your XML source.
</para>

<para>The Builders &b-link-DocbookHtmlChunked;, &b-link-DocbookHtmlhelp; and 
&b-link-DocbookSlidesHtml; are special, in that:
</para>
<orderedlist><listitem><para>they create a large set of files, where the exact names and their number depend
on the content of the source file, and
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>the main target is always named <filename>index.html</filename>, i.e. the output name for the
XSL transformation is not picked up by the stylesheets.
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>As a result, there is simply no use in specifying a target HTML name. 
So the basic syntax for these builders is always:
</para>
<screen>env = Environment(tools=['docbook'])
env.DocbookHtmlhelp('manual')
</screen>

<para>If you want to use a specific XSL file, you can set the
additional <literal>xsl</literal> parameter to your
Builder call as follows:
</para>
<screen>env.DocbookHtml('other.html', 'manual.xml', xsl='html.xsl')
</screen>
<para>Since this may get tedious if you always use the same local naming for your customized XSL files,
e.g. <filename>html.xsl</filename> for HTML and <filename>pdf.xsl</filename> for PDF output, a set of
variables for setting the default XSL name is provided. These are:
</para>
<screen>DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_HTML        
DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_HTMLCHUNKED        
DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_HTMLHELP        
DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_PDF        
DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_EPUB        
DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_MAN        
DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_SLIDESPDF        
DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_SLIDESHTML        
</screen>
<para>and you can set them when constructing your environment:
</para>
<screen>env = Environment(tools=['docbook'],
                  DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_HTML='html.xsl',
                  DOCBOOK_DEFAULT_XSL_PDF='pdf.xsl')
env.DocbookHtml('manual') # now uses html.xsl

perform particular activities related to software internationalization. You
