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. See http://www.scons.org/ for more details. CYGWIN NOTES: ============= Upstream does not provide good support for building DLLs for Cygwin. SCons will build the DLL as libMODULE.dll, but will not build an import library. This release includes a patched linker for Cygwin that will: * build the DLL as cygMODULE.dll * create an import library using the instructions from here: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html This patched linker is only lightly tested. Please report any bugs to the main mailing list. If you're a Python programmer, please consider providing a patch, as the Cygwin maintainer is not a Python programmer. QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place. -- David Rothenberger ---- daveroth@acm.org
