Rscons ships with a number of builders:
* CFile, which builds a C or C++ source file from a lex or yacc input file
* Disassemble, which disassembles an object file to a disassembly listing
* Library, which collects object files into a static library archive file
* Object, which compiles source files to produce an object file
* Preprocess, which invokes the C/C++ preprocessor on a source file
* Program, which links object files to produce an executable
If you want to create an Environment that does not contain any builders,

```ruby
env.CFile(target, source)
# Example
env.CFile("parser.c", "parser.y")
```
The CFile builder will generate a C or C++ source file from a lex (.l, .ll)
or yacc (.y, .yy) input file.
#### Disassemble
```ruby
env.Disassemble(target, source)
# Example
env.Disassemble("module.dis", "module.o")
```
The Disassemble builder generates a disassembly listing using objdump from
and object file.
#### Library
```ruby
env.Library(target, sources)
# Example
env.Library("lib.a", Dir["src/**/*.c"])
```
The Library builder creates a static library archive from the given source

```ruby
env.Object(target, sources)
# Example
env.Object("module.o", "module.c")
```
The Object builder compiles the given sources to an object file.
#### Preprocess
```ruby
env.Preprocess(target, source)
# Example
env.Preprocess("module-preprocessed.cc", "module.cc")
```
The Preprocess builder invokes either ${CC} or ${CXX} (depending on if the
source contains an extension in ${CXXSUFFIX} or not) and writes the
preprocessed output to the target file.
#### Program
```ruby
env.Program(target, sources)
# Example
env.Program("myprog", Dir["src/**/*.cc"])
```
The Program builder compiles and links the given sources to an executable file.
