Linux installation SCons

SCons is a python-written automated build tool that python and scons need to be installed before they can run and cross-platform . its integrated functionality is similar to Autoconf/automake and is a simple and reliable tool. Many systems now come with Python, so you can install scons directly.

Installing SCons

1. Preparatory work

Check that there's a wooden python on the system.

Command: python-v or Python--version

2 installation on UBUNTN

sudo apt-get install scons

3 in red Hat

In Red Hat Linux,fedora or any other Linux distribution using RPM (Red Hat package Manager), SCons is a pre-compiled RPM format ready to be installed. Your distribution may already contain a precompiled scons RPM. If your distribution supports Yum installation, you can run the following command to install SCons: #yum installed scons If your Linux distribution does not contain a specific scons rpm file, you can download the generic RPM provided by the SCons project to install it (: http ://www.scons.org/download.php). This installs the SCons script to the/usr/bin directory, and installs the SCons Library module (libraries modules) to/usr/lib/scons. Install from the command line, download the appropriate. rpm file, and then run:

#rpm-UVH scons-2.2.0-1.noarch.rpm

4 Compiling and installing scons in any system

If you do not have a precompiled SCons package in your system, you can easily compile and install scons using the native Python distutils package.

Download scons-2.2.0.tar.gz (note that it relies on Python version if more than 2.5, attached below Python installation)

Unzip the downloaded file, will create a directory called scons-2.2.0, enter this directory to perform the following command installation scons: #cd scons-2.2.0#python setup.py Install

This compiles scons, installs the SCons script to the Python directory (/usr/local/bin), and installs the SCons compilation engine to the Library directory (/usr/local/lib/scon) used by Python. You may need root privileges during the installation process.

If you overwrite the previous version directly, execute the following command:

1. TAR-ZXVF python-2.7.3.tgz
2. CD Python-2.7.3
3. ./configure
4. Make
5. Make install
