Has anyone tried to integrate SCons (http://www.scons.org/) into
eclipse? Eclipse already knows all the files in the directories and
could generate automatically files imported by SConstruct. What's needed
is something like one line per file which looks like:

env.SharedObject(target = 'eee.o', source = 'eee.cpp')
or
env.StaticObject(target = 'bbb.o', source = 'bbb.cpp')

depending if shared or static libraries are to be buildt.

The link does not seem to work.

You would need to create a new Eclipse builder and set it to the project
I suppose that would be one way of implementing.

If you're willing to tolerate a more manual-intensive solution:
Here's the SConstruct, assuming an executable is being built:

import glob
env = Environment(tools=['mingw'])
env.Program(target='mytarget', source = Split(glob.glob('*.cpp')))

The build command is:
scons .

This is on a Win32 platform using mingw. To compile using MSVC, even easier:
import glob
env = Environment()
env.Program(target='mytarget', source = Split(glob.glob('*.cpp')))

Not as nice as you're proposing but very simple. I do like makefiles, but
IMO this script is much easier to maintain.

Actually, i believe the view 'make targets' allows you to choose which
command to execute, so you could create a target that launches scons. Or
anything else for that matter.

hope that helps

Yes,

in our company we rely heavily on scons and cdt.

I created a simple make file, that calls scons (because of easy make
target integration of exclipse).

What we do in our build process:

- eclipse calls
- make calls
- scons
- calls keil c compiler (I builded python wrappers for it, to make the
output parseble by eclipse)
- and calls other build tools, like an xml to c converter, written in
delphi
- and scons also calls a delphi tool, that itself calls and parses
the output of our svn version control tool

If someone is interested, I could publish an example setup in the
future.

I solved the problem myself by creating a SCons Builder plugin.

This plugin allows to build C/C++ projects with the SCons build tool. In
order to use it you must install SCons first. I tested it with release
0.95, but it should work also with newer versions. The source of the plugin
is included.

Maybe you can look at the plugin and mention it in your magazine.

The plugin can be installed/updated easily through Eclipse built-in
Install/Update Mechanism. Just add
http://nic-nac-project.de/~lothar/eclipse/update/ to your list of Update
Sites. Please see the Eclipse help for information on installing feature
plugins through Eclipse's Update Mechanism.

For more information see
http://nic-nac-project.de/~lothar/eclipse/update/SConsBuilde rPlugin.html

Please let me know your opinions about the plugin.

The plugin is also registed at http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net and users can
rate it at http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugin_details.

Hello Everyone,

I am starting to Pilot SCONS and SCONS with CDT IDE for one of our Project.
Standalone SCONS works fine for me. As a next step, I would like to integrate SCONS with eclipse CDT IDE. When I tried to call SCONS build, I am getting Errors such as "Error configuring SCons project.".

I searched in Internet however I could to get detailed explanation about how to configure SCONS with CDT IDE.

Can anyone share throw some light on it.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Hariharan
