SCons is an improved, cross-platform build system which is implemented using Python, which integrates some features of Automake/Autoconf. Its strength is that the 'makefiles' (which are generically called "SConscript" files; the top-level one is named "SConstruct") can use all the features of the Python programming language.
It is based on Cons. The current version is SCons 0.96.1, released August 23rd, 2004.
A sample SConscript file
Program('main.c')
When the user runs the 'scons' command, scons will build a 'main' executable (on Linux) or 'main.exe' (on Windows).
