Yes. Currently SCons can, though somewhat awkwardly, check for natively installed dependencies. But with Conan (for C++), Rust and D there is the central source repository of interesting stuff that can be downloaded and compiled to create the dependency. Given everyone working with Rust uses Cargo, there is no case for SCons to get involved with. But with C++ and D being core languages for SCons there is an issue to address for SCons to stay relevant in the C++/Conan and D/Dub contexts. -- 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
