The SCons Wiki
Welcome to the new home of the SCons wiki (hosted by Pair Networks)!
The student application period for the Google 2008 Summer of Code has closed. Google accepted three student proposals to work for us this summer. For further information, please see our entry page.
Note: You must be a member of WikiEditorsGroup to edit this page. Due to wiki spamming, you must have an account to edit pages in this wiki.
This wiki is an open forum for development and use of SCons. New wiki users can practice in the WikiSandBox.
First, we will have some fairly formal guides for various audiences. (However, please do feel free to contribute: this is a wiki.)
TheBigPicture for everybody
SconsProcessOverview - explanation of how SCons works and a list of all predefined functions in SCons
UserGuide for people who write and use basic scripts
AdministratorGuide for toolsmiths who install and maintain SCons and more complex build rules
DeveloperGuide for those who wish to hack on the core code
FromMakeToScons background article (critique to Make, history of build systems)
SconsVsOtherBuildTools for those who want to compare SCons to other build tools.
SconsDevelopers page assigning responsibilities for different parts of SCons (volunteer here!)
IDEIntegration to use scons from your favourite IDE
SconsRecipes, the "cook book", and an automatic list of CustomBuilders (all pages with Builder in their names)
SconsToolbox for contributed modules/extensions/scripts
SconsProjects, open source projects which use SCons (add yours there). Can be a useful resource to learn new SCons tricks
SconsQuickReference, a quick reference page (for the impatient)
WikiUserPages, a page to find out about the people who edit this wiki (add yourself there!)
How about some PlatformSpecificNotes...
SCons IRC channel: #scons on OPN network irc://irc.freenode.net/scons
This wiki needs to be reorganized (I might try it when I have some more time)
Update/Admin Notes
Updated this wiki to 1.5.2, now with GUI editor! -- GaryOberbrunner
Updated this wiki to 1.5.4 to fix some bugs. 12-jul-06 -- GaryOberbrunner
Updated again, to 1.6.1, 11-mar-08 -- GaryOberbrunner
Wiki paths now can be http://www.scons.org/wiki/FrontPage (don't have to use the long /cgi-sys/cgiwrap/scons/moin.cgi path). Please report bugs to me. -- GaryOberbrunner
SCons bugs can now be linked directly from this wiki using a macro provided by GregNoel. Use <<Bug(1650)>> which ends up looking like Bug#1650; it links directly to the bug page at scons.tigris.org. Lowercase works too: <<bug(1650)>> produces bug#1650. 30-May-07 -- GaryOberbrunner
