Why? Because SCons is too limited? ;-) Try CMake. KDE is using it
successfully with at least g++ on multiple platforms (including OS X and
MinGW), Sun Studio on OpenSolaris and M$VC on Window$.
Not that I'm plugging this, but if you want a Python-based, but
designed for embedding, build system, Waf
(
http://code.google.com/p/waf/) might be of interest. It generates a <
100k script that can be run on any system with Python installed (ok,
still a problem with Windows, but installing another Unix build system
on Windows is probably even more of a pain).
