SCons: A Software Construction Tool

SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a next-generation build tool. SCons began life as the ScCons build tool design which won the Software Carpentry SC Build competition in August 2000. This project has been renamed SCons to reflect that it is no longer directly connected with Software Carpentry (well, that, and to make it slightly easier to type…).
