#scons — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #scons, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Why not switch your crappy software from crappy #SCons build system to even more crappy #Bazel build system over a patch release, call it "fully backwards compatible", and then effectively leave all the distros stuck on old versions with half a dozen vulnerabilities?

    Yeah, just a random reminder that #MongoDB is total crap, and you shouldn't use it. Or expect people to package it for you.

    #Gentoo

  2. I want a build system that:

    - is as powerful and flexible as
    - as readable and concise as
    - has a fricking progress bar+ETA
    - is :datalad: / :gitannex: agnostic (knows that files can be fetched from elsewhere
    - remembers how long building things takes
    - balances that to decide if rebuilding locally instead of fetching gigabytes via slow internet is favorable
    - integrates well with :nixos: for reproducibility

  3. I have just updated and tagged GDExtensionTemplate for Godot 4.2!

    If you want to use an existing C++ library in #Godot or use #CMake instead of #Scons for your C++ extension, check it out!

    github.com/asmaloney/GDExtensi

    It takes care of all the setup/building/linking with godot-cpp and the GitHub CI so you can focus on your code right away.

  4. CW: software grumble

    Trying to compile an old Commodore PLUS4 emulator and #SCons is going on my "build systems I never wish to interact with" list, next to CMake, among others.
    Also, this unresolved #FLTK issue from 2009 (!!!) from is, well it's causing me some issues. fltk.org/str.php?L2180
    All other libraries this project uses are imported with pkg-config, except FLTK.
    Anyways, gonna rewrite the build script for #Meson. Seems easier than trying to debug SCons.

  5. Today's progress on #FreeBSD #Linuxulator "userland from source" project: We have build systems! 🥳

    Supported now (apart of plain #make): GNU #autotools (including #autoreconf), #cmake, #meson and #ninja!

    They're all supported with their original #ports "USES", by some #bmake trickery in my new "USES=linuxsrc", fixing up just the parts that are different when building from/for the Linuxulator (like adjusting dependencies and commands to use the #Linux-native versions).

    Ok, no #scons yet, didn't need it so far 🙈

  7. Welp, I tried to get #distcc working with #scons, but it never seemed to pick it up. I guess I'll have to try another day.
