# SCons
Hacking with SCons
## What's SCons?
> SCons is an Open Source software construction tool—that is, a next-generation build tool. 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.
## Setting up SCons
### Building from source - Ubuntu.
At the time of this writing the latest version of SCons is 3.0.1
Ensure Python is installed locally
```bash
sudo mkdir /opt/src
cd /opt/src/
sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scons/scons-3.0.1.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvzf scons-3.0.1.tar.gz
cd scons-3.0.1/
sudo python setup.py install
```
Other installation options can be found from [this link](http://scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-user.html#chap-build-install)
```bash
scons -v
