On the Boost.Build list we were just discussing the fact that some people otherwise inclined towards Boost have chosen Scons over Boost.Build. It would be useful for us to understand some of the reasons why, if some of you wouldn't mind letting us know. No flames, please!
We use MPC, http://ociweb.com/products/mpc It takes a different approach to the problem by generating various build tool specific project files. It currently supports the following: Generic Make, GNU Make, NMake, Visual C++ 6, 7.1 & 8, Embedded C++, & Borland Make The nice thing about it is you can use MSVC++ and precompiled headers when on Windows and GNU Make when on Unix or Linux. It simply generates the Makefile or project file needed from a very simple project description. It was originally created to battle the problem of multi-platform builds of ACE and TAO.
