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. + +See the RELEASE.txt file for notes about this specific release, +including known problems. See the CHANGES.txt file for a list of +changes since the previous release. + + +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 + + +EXECUTION REQUIREMENTS +====================== + +Running SCons requires Python version 2.7.*. Currently it does not +run on the Python 3.x release. There should be +no other dependencies or requirements to run SCons. (There is, however, +an additional requirement to *install* SCons from this particular +package; see the next section.) + +By default, SCons knows how to search for available programming tools +on various systems--see the SCons man page for details. You may, +of course, override the default SCons choices made by appropriate +configuration of Environment construction variables. + + +INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS +========================= + +Nothing special. + + +INSTALLATION +============ + +Assuming your system satisfies the installation requirements in the +previous section, install SCons from this package simply by running the +provided Python-standard setup script as follows: + + # python setup.py install + +By default, the above command will do the following: + + -- Install the version-numbered "scons-2.4.0" and "sconsign-2.4.0" + scripts in the default system script directory (/usr/bin or + C:\Python*\Scripts, for example). This can be disabled by + specifying the "--no-version-script" option on the command + line. + + -- Install scripts named "scons" and "sconsign" scripts in the + default system script directory (/usr/bin or C:\Python*\Scripts, + for example). This can be disabled by specifying the + "--no-scons-script" option on the command line, which is useful + if you want to install and experiment with a new version before + making it the default on your system. + + On UNIX or Linux systems, you can have the "scons" and "sconsign" + scripts be hard links or symbolic links to the "scons-2.4.0" and + "sconsign-2.4.0" scripts by specifying the "--hardlink-scons" + or "--symlink-scons" options on the command line. + + -- Install "scons-2.4.0.bat" and "scons.bat" wrapper scripts in the + Python prefix directory on Windows (C:\Python*, for example). + This can be disabled by specifying the "--no-install-bat" option + on the command line. + + On UNIX or Linux systems, the "--install-bat" option may be + specified to have "scons-2.4.0.bat" and "scons.bat" files + installed in the default system script directory, which is useful + if you want to install SCons in a shared file system directory + that can be used to execute SCons from both UNIX/Linux and + Windows systems. + + -- Install the SCons build engine (a Python module) in an + appropriate version-numbered SCons library directory + (/usr/lib/scons-2.4.0 or C:\Python*\scons-2.4.0, for example). + See below for more options related to installing the build + engine library. + + -- Install the troff-format man pages in an appropriate directory + on UNIX or Linux systems (/usr/share/man/man1 or /usr/man/man1, + for example). This can be disabled by specifying the + "--no-install-man" option on the command line. The man pages + can be installed on Windows systems by specifying the + "--install-man" option on the command line. + +Note that, by default, SCons does not install its build engine library +in the standard Python library directories. If you want to be able to +use the SCons library modules (the build engine) in other Python +scripts, specify the "--standard-lib" option on the command line, as +follows: + + # python setup.py install --standard-lib + +This will install the build engine in the standard Python library +directory (/usr/lib/python*/site-packages or +C:\Python*\Lib\site-packages). + +Alternatively, you can have SCons install its build engine library in a +hard-coded standalone library directory, instead of the default +version-numbered directory, by specifying the "--standalone-lib" option +on the command line, as follows: + + # python setup.py install --standalone-lib + +This is usually not recommended, however. + +Note that, to install SCons in any of the above system directories, +you should have system installation privileges (that is, "root" or +"Administrator") when running the setup.py script. If you don't have +system installation privileges, you can use the --prefix option to +specify an alternate installation location, such as your home directory: + + $ python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME + +This will install SCons in the appropriate locations relative to +$HOME--that is, the scons script itself $HOME/bin and the associated +library in $HOME/lib/scons, for example. + + +DOCUMENTATION +============= + +See the RELEASE.txt file for notes about this specific release, +including known problems. See the CHANGES.txt file for a list of +changes since the previous release. + +The scons.1 man page is included in this package, and contains a section +of small examples for getting started using SCons. + +Additional 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.

You may send +questions or comments to the list at: + + scons-users@scons.org + +You may subscribe to the mailing list by sending email to: + + scons-users-join@scons.org + +There is also a low-volume mailing list available for announcements +about SCons. Subscribe by sending email to: + + announce-subscribe@scons.tigris.org + +There are other mailing lists available for SCons developers, for +notification of SCons code changes, and for notification of updated +bug reports and project documents.
