+
+ SCons - a software construction tool
+
+This is the scons-README file for a version of SCons packaged for local
+execution--that is, execution out of a specific local directory, without
+having to install SCons as a system-wide utility.
+
+You are likely reading this file in one of the following two situations:
+
+ 1) You have unpacked an scons-local-{version} package and are
+ examining the contents.
+
+ In this case, you are presumably interested in using this
+ package to include a local copy of SCons with some other
+ software that you package, so that you can use SCons to build
+ your software without forcing all of your users to have it fully
+ installed. Instructions for this can be found below.
+
+ If you are not looking to use SCons in this way, then please
+ use either the scons-{version} package to install SCons on your
+ system, or the scons-src-{version} package if you want the full
+ source to SCons, including its packaging code and underlying
+ tests and testing infrastructure.
+
+ 2) This file was included in some other software package so that
+ the package could be built using SCons.
+
+ In this case, follow the instructions provided with the
+ rest of the software package for how to use SCons to build
+ and/or install the software. The file containing build and
+ installation instructions will typically be named README or
+ INSTALL.
+
+LATEST VERSION
+==============
+
+Before going further, you can check for the latest version of the
+scons-local package, or any SCons package, at the SCons download page:
+
+ http://www.scons.org/download.html
+
+
+EXECUTION REQUIREMENTS
+======================
+
+Running SCons requires Python version 1.5.2 or later. There should be
+no other dependencies or requirements to run SCons.
+
+The default SCons configuration assumes use of the Microsoft Visual C++
+compiler suite on WIN32 systems, and assumes a C compiler named 'cc',
+a C++ compiler named 'c++', and a Fortran compiler named 'g77' (such
+as found in the GNU C compiler suite) on any other type of system.
+You may, of course, override these default values by appropriate
+configuration of Environment construction variables.
+
+
+INSTALLATION
+============
+
+Installation of this package should be as simple as unpacking the
+archive (either .tar.gz or .zip) in any directory (top-level or a
+subdirectory) within the software package with which you want to ship
+SCons.
+
+Once you have installed this package, you should write an SConstruct
+file at the top level of your source tree to build your software as you
+see fit.
+
+Then modify the build/install instructions for your package to instruct
+your users to execute SCons as follows (if you installed this package in
+your top-level directory):
+
+ $ python scons.py
+
+Or (if, for example, you installed this package in a subdirectory named
+"scons"):
+
+ $ python scons/scons.py
+
+That should be all you have to do. (If it isn't that simple, please let
+us know!)
+
+
+CONTENTS OF THIS PACKAGE
+========================
+
+This scons-local package consists of the following:
+
+scons-LICENSE
+ A copy of the copyright and terms under which SCons is
+ distributed (the Open Source Initiative-approved MIT license).
+
+ A disclaimer has been added to the beginning to make clear that
+ this license applies only to SCons, and not to any separate
+ software you've written with which you're planning to package
+ SCons.
+
+scons-README
+ What you're looking at right now.
+
+scons-local-{version}/
+ The SCons build engine. This is structured as a Python
+ library.
+
+scons.py
+ The SCons script itself. The script sets up the Python
+ sys.path variable to use the build engine found in the
+ scons-local-{version}/ directory in preference to any other
+ SCons build engine installed on your system.
+
+
+DOCUMENTATION
+=============
+
+Because this package is intended to be included with other software by
+experienced users, we have not included any SCons documentation in this
+package (other than this scons-README file you're reading right now).
+
+If, however, you need documentation about SCons, then consult any of the
+following from the corresponding scons-{version} or scons-src-{version}
+package:
+
+ The RELEASE.txt file (src/RELEASE.txt file in the
+ scons-src-{version} package), which contains notes about this
+ specific release, including known problems.
+
+ The CHANGES.txt file (src/CHANGES.txt file in the
+ scons-src-{version} package), which contains a list of changes
+ since the previous release.
+
+ The scons.1 man page (doc/man/scons.1 in the scons-src-{version}
+ package), which contains a section of small examples for getting
+ started using SCons.
+
+Additional documentation for SCons is available at:
+
