SCons is an Open Source software construction tool--that is, a next-generation
build tool.  Think of SCons as an improved, cross-platform substitute for the
classic Make utility with integrated functionality similar to
autoconf/automake and compiler caches such as ccache.  In short, SCons is an
easier, more reliable and faster way to build software.

SCons consists of several Python scripts.  You will need to have Python
installed in order to use SCons.
