# Rscons
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Rscons (https://github.com/holtrop/rscons) is an open-source build system
|
|
for developers.
|
|
It supports the following features:
|
|
|
|
* multi-threaded job execution
|
|
* auto-configuration
|
|
* built-in builders for several common operations
|
|
* out-of-the-box support for C, C++, and D languages
|
|
* extensibility for other languages or custom builders
|
|
* compatible with Windows, Linux, OS X, and FreeBSD
|
|
* colorized output with build progress
|
|
* build hooks
|
|
* user-defined tasks with dependencies and custom parameters
|
|
* build variants
|
|
|
|
At its core, Rscons is mainly an engine to:
|
|
|
|
* determine the proper order to perform build steps,
|
|
* determine whether each build target is up to date or in need of rebuild, and
|
|
* schedule those build steps across multiple threads as efficiently as possible.
|
|
|
|
Along the way, Rscons provides a concise syntax for specifying common types of
|
|
build steps, but also provides an extensible framework for performing
|
|
custom build operations as well.
|
|
|
|
Rscons takes inspiration from:
|
|
|
|
* [SCons](https://scons.org/)
|
|
* [waf](https://waf.io/)
|
|
* [rake](https://github.com/ruby/rake)
|
|
* [CMake](https://cmake.org/)
|
|
* [Autoconf](https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/)
|
|
|
|
Rscons is written in Ruby.
|
|
The only requirement to run Rscons is that the system has a Ruby interpreter
|
|
installed.
