SCons Foundation Reviews

Eric T.
Software EngineerSmaller footprint, more reliable builds
Scons was great for several reasons, especially for large low-level systems components. It was easy to map makefiles to Scons build files. Coming from a recursive make design it resulted in significantly more consistent code builds. The footprint of the build code was shrunk by over 80% and it would build faster. The biggest gain was dependencies were properly discovered which meant it built once instead of several times, as it had before.

Software Developer at IBMSCons is the build tool of choice for enterprise applications
SCons is python based and is easy to extend by adding custom builders and generators. It gives fine grained control over the build logic where one can explicitly define build targets, their sources and series of steps to follow in order to build those targets.

Software Developer at Euro Games Technology Ltd.Reliable build system with well defined build units.
Solid choice for a big project. If needed it can be easily adapted and changed. You can also make build systems on top of it.
