Talk:SCons

Is this going to be like emerge? --Terrible Tim 21:21, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * They're two completely different beasts, SCons attempts to be an all-in-one tool while Portage is a front-end to many programs. --ren 19:49, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Neutrality
Next-generation, improved, easier, more reliable, faster... It sounds really like a Neutral POV [/sarcasm] --ren 19:52, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Ren, I've updated the article to make it NPOV, I hope. Please take a look at it and see what you think; if you like it, then please remove your pov tag. --Andy 9 November 2005


 * I'd say, after the edits by 130.164.71.111 this is now NPOV, so I removed the tag. --Allefant 16:02, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

Built in support
From the article:

"Automatic dependency analysis built-in for C, C++ and Fortran."

and then:

"Built-in support for C, C++, D, Java, Fortran, Objective-C, Yacc, Lex, Qt and SWIG, and building TeX and LaTeX documents. Other languages or file types can be supported through user-defined Builders for other languages or file types."

Does that mean that D, Java, Objective-C, Yacc, Lex, Qt, SWIG and LaTeX are not fully supported?

Well, in the Java case, I guess the dependency is deduced by the compiler but what about the other languages/tools? don't they need dependency analysis?Ori 19:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The features listed are from http://scons.org - so best ask there I guess. --Allefant (talk) 10:42, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Notable applications using SCons?
I just checked some "notable applications" using SCons. And I found some of them actually used CMake! Indeed, I found `CMakeLists.txt` files instead of `SConstruct` files in the top source directories. These applications seem to use CMake instead of SCons:
 * Aqsis
 * Delta3D

Should these two references be deleted from the list or were they really using SCons for some time (and maybe we should specify the dates they stopped using SCons if the two entries are not deleted) ?

 * I'd say, delete them. This section is about applications using scons, not ones having used it at some point in the past. --Allefant (talk) 03:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

- Ain't Google Chrome using Make by default...? 09:50, 28 Nov 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.65.244.23 (talk)
 * Looks Chromium/Google Chrome switched from scons (which was used as of July 2009 ) to a make-based system they call "ninja". Here's their current build instructions. So I've removed it from the article. --kostmo (talk) 07:39, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
