Example:
$ tool build main.d
That's all that should be needed to build an executable. You could have
the same in a build script:
// buildfile
main.d
$ tool build
Currently with SCons, you type:
$ scons
and the default activity occurs. With the SConstruct file:
Program ( "main.d" )
the result is the construction of the executable, ready for execution.
If I understand everything correctly Scons uses Python for its build
scripts and that means an external dependency on Python?
I think that's unnecessary and I would prefer that interpreter was
bundled with the tool i.e. linked with libpython (or similar). I think
that will make it easier for non Linux users.
That's how I've built my package manager. It has no external
dependencies when using a pre-compiled executable.
