I have talked with the dev that make Conan. They are huge SCons fans. From what I understand their customers are big on CMake, so they put effort into. I know I have thought of a similar feature in Parts. Conan seems like it would be a better option.

They are emphasizing integration with CMake, which works for anyone using CLion as an IDE or CMake directly, but doesn't for anyone using Meson or SCons. Given Conan is a Python-based system, it ought to be reasonable, though not a small project, to integrate SCons and Conan. (An awful lot easier that trying to integrate SCons and Dub for D builds, though.) With C++2a likely to finally bring modules to C++, not to mention metaclasses, integrating SCons and Conan is likely to be a Good Thing™. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
