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 - Collect files and/or directories for easy tarring/zipping for distribution
• AntlrBuilder - Use ANTLR to create targets that SCons can use
• ArchiveBuilder - Create archives (.tar.gz, .tar.bz2, .zip) in a simple way
• BuildNumberProcessing - Add a build number or version number to the linked output
• CheetahBuilder - Compile and fill Cheetah templates
• CombineBuilder - Combine several C / C++ source files into one file
• CorbaBuilder - Generate C++ from Orbix CORBA IDL files
• CorbaTaoBuilder - Generate C++ from Tao CORBA IDL files
• CsharpBuilder - Build 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 - Build a .tar file with an internal directory structure
• DownloadUnpackBuilder - Two related Builders, that can download and unpack a file (.tar.gz / .tar.bz2), useful for installing libraries to a project
• DoxygenBuilder - Generate Doxygen documentation automatically
• EiffelStudioTool - Build and use the Eiffel programming language, see: EiffelStudio.
• EnvValue - A value Node which substitutes variables from the Environment
• GchBuilder - Build and use gcc precompiled headers
• GhcBuilder - Build and use 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 - Compile NASM assembly source files
• NsisBuilder - See: NsisSconsTool
• ProtocBuilder - Compile Protocol Buffers .proto source files
• PyrexPythonExtensions - Build Pyrex Python extensions
• PythonExtensions - Build Python extensions using SWIG and Boost
• PyuicBuilder - Generate PyQt Python files from QtDesigner .ui sources
• ReplacementBuilder - Interpolate variables into *.in files, e.g. pkg-config .pc files or DBus .service files
• ReStructuredTextBuilder - Use reStructuredText to produce HTML or LaTeX output
• RpcBuilder - Compile RPC protocol source files
• RunningConfigureAndMake - Run configure and make, as part of migrating from Makefiles
• SconsDotNet - Build CoctaThorpe and VbDotNet projects
• StaticPicLibrary - Build static libraries using Position-Independant Code (PIC), instead of StaticLibrary's method
• SubstInFileBuilder - Provide TOOL_SUBST, which substitutes values from a dictionary into a file. Can be used for autotools-like configure substitution or other purposes
• SubstInFileBuilder2 - Provide a slightly different implementation of SubstInFile that substitutes values from the environment into a file
• GenericSubstBuilder - Provide a powerful generic substitution mechanism and two helpers for regular files and headers
• SwigBuilder - Build SWIG wrappers with extra options
• UicImageEmbedder - Embed image file collection into a C++ source file
• UsingCodeGenerators - Build an application and then use that application to generate other files
• UsingCompilerBuilt - Build a compiler / tool which is then used to build the application

Tools For Specific Libraries

• CheckBoostVersion - Boost does not provide a 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
