SCons is a Python-based build tool to replace Make and much of the Autotools functionality. It has D support as part of the core. This support is though in need of development.
The new Mercurial/BitBucket infrastructure for developing SCons (replacing the old Subversion/Tigris set up) is now in place, a new release 2.1.0 has been declared and everything is open for business leading to a 2.2.0 release. I got my changes to support DMD 2 into this release :-) However, support for GDC, LDC, etc. is almost certainly still sadly lacking, and indeed the support for DMD almost certainly needs a severe refactoring and most likely a rewrite. Rather than people having to work on a clone of SCons in order to work on the tool, I have created a separate Mercurial repository (https://bitbucket.org/russel/scons_dmd_new) as a development version of just the tool. When a new version of this separate tool is declared I create a pull request for the SCons mainline to get the new version in the next version of SCons. Is anyone else other than me interested in using SCons as a build tool with D code? If there is, perhaps we can collaborate in some way to progress SCons support for all the various realizations of D? -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
