ContributedBuilders

Here is a list of community-contributed Builders:

• Also see ToolsIndex, a list of external SCons Tools that are developed as packages and managed via a distributed version control system such as Bazaar, Mercurial, Git, and so on.

Builders

• AccumulateBuilder: builder which "collects" files and/or directories for easy tarring/zipping for distribution
• AntlrBuilder: Builder for antlr to create targets that Scons can use
• ArchiveBuilder: Builder to make archive (tar.gz, tar.bz2 or zip) in a simple way
• BuildNumberProcessing: you have a build number or version number that needs to be included in the link
• CheetahBuilder: compiles and fills Cheetah templates
• CombineBuilder: Small Builder to include several c/c++ source files into one file
• CorbaBuilder: Builder for orbix corba idl generated C++ files.
• CorbaTaoBuilder: Builder for tao corba idl generated C++ files.
• CsharpBuilder: a builder to support C# using Mono, mcs, etc.
• CxxTestBuilder: Integrate CxxTest unit testing framework into scons, together with a 'scons check' target. (make check clone from autotools)
• DistTarBuilder: builds a tar file with an internal directory structure
• Download- & UnpackBuilder - two correspondent builders, that can download and unpack a file (eg tar.gz / tar.bz2), usefull for installing libraries to a project
• DoxygenBuilder: generates doxygen docs automatically scanning for dependencies
• EiffelStudioTool: Builder tool for the Eiffel programming language (EiffelStudio).
• EnvValue: A value node which substitutes variables from the environment
• GchBuilder: Builder for gcc's precompiled headers
• GhcBuilder: Builder for the Haskell programming language.
• InstallFiles - Recursively scan the source for files to install according to glob and exclude patterns
• LyxBuilder: Convert .lyx files to .tex. And teach PDF to understand .lyx files.
• MsvcIncrementalLinking - Replaces the Program and SharedLibrary builders to support Microsoft Visual C++ incremental linking.
• NasmBuilder: how to compile nasm source files
• NsisBuilder: see NsisSconsTool
• ProtocBuilder - Generates Protocol Buffers target files from .proto source.
• PyrexPythonExtensions: how to build pyrex python extension modules using SCons
• PythonExtensions: how to build python extension modules using SCons Swig & Boost
• PyuicBuilder - Generates PyQt Python files from QtDesigner .ui source.
• ReplacementBuilder: for when you need to take a *.in file and replace some variables in it, such as pkg-config .pc files or DBus .service files
• ReStructuredTextBuilder: produces HTML or LaTeX output from reStructuredText input
• RpcBuilder: how to compile RPC protocol sources
• RunningConfigureAndMake: how to use SCons to run configure and make, as part of migrating from Makefiles
• SconsDotNet - using SCons to build CoctaThorpe and VbDotNet
• StaticPicLibrary - a builder like StaticLibrary but aiming to place position independant code (pic) in the library built
• SwigBuilder: extra stuff about building SWIG beyond what's currently built-in.
• UicImageEmbedder: builder which generates an image collection by embedding image files into a c++ sourcefile
• UsingCodeGenerators: how to build an application and then use that application to generate other files
• UsingCompilerBuilt asks about building a compiler/tool which is then used to build the application.
• SubstInFileBuilder: provides TOOL_SUBST, which substitutes values from a dictionary into a file. Can be used for autotools-like configure substitution or other purposes.
• SubstInFileBuilder2: provides a slightly different implementation of SubstInFile that substitutes values from the environment into a file.
• GenericSubstBuilder: Provides a powerful generic substitution mechanism and two helpers for regular files and headers.

Tools for specific libraries

• CheckBoostVersion: Boost does not provide pkg-config file so we need to check its version by other means
• Qt4Tool: David García Garzón has been working on a Qt4 tool with much success
