Documentation
This page contains links to general SCons documentation, and to documentation (man page and User's Guide) for the current stable release of SCons: 0.98.3. Man pages and User's Guides for other releases of SCons are available at the Version-Specific SCons Documentation page.
SCons 0.98.3 man page
The man page for the current stable release of SCons. We're meticulous about updating the man page whenever new functionality is added or something changes, so this covers everything that the current version of SCons can do (modulo oversights).
SCons 0.98.3 User Guide
The User's Guide for the current stable release of SCons. This is very much a work in progress. This covers the basics, but there is a lot in SCons that hasn't been covered yet in this Guide, so check the man page before assuming that SCons can't do something you don't find covered here. Please help improve this document by letting the SCons maintainers know about anything you find that's incorrect, or about missing pieces in which you're especially interested (or to which you can contribute yourself).
