By Randall Spangler, Software Engineer - Client Tools Team

If you've ever worked on a cross-platform software project, you know how often changes made on one platform break the build on other platforms. If you're using native project files (Xcode on Mac, makefiles on Linux, etc.), every developer needs access to every platform just to add a single source file. You can use a single makefile shared between all the platforms, but writing a makefile which "Does The Right Thing" on each platform is tricky. On all platforms, you need simple ways to express dependencies, run unit tests, and rebuild individual project components. You need to be able to extend the build tool to cover the 5% of your project that doesn't fit the usual build patterns. Oh, and the tool should be documented, tested, and free of charge.

To meet those challenges, we've written a cross-platform Software Construction Toolkit, built on the Open Source SCons build tool. It's written in Python, and builds on Windows, Mac, and Linux.

In addition to contributing fixes and enhancements back to SCons itself, we've released full source and documentation for the toolkit.

We always look forward to your feedback, so check out the code or an example project and send us your comments in our discussion group.

Comments:

Sounds interesting. Is this a fork of scons? If so, why?

Comments:

Software Construction Toolkit is an extension to SCons. It provides a
framework that adds some nice extra features, particularly for
cross-platform builds and unit tests.

We decided to extend SCons rather than fork it, so that we and the rest of the
SCons community can share improvements with each other. Where features from
Software Construction Toolkit are general enough to be of use to other SCons
builds, we're working to fold them back into SCons itself.

Comments:

I've seen the long list of new functions but I can't find a short description of what improvements we have over the standard Scons. Could you please elaborate?
