Less active projects, which use SCons as their build system:

• Aztec 3D - 3D Modelling Tool. See the main SConstruct file hereSConstruct and the config SConscript scons.AztecConfig. We also use SCons to build FreeType, lib3DS, DevIL Image Library and Mozilla's Javascript

• NeoEngine (OpenSource 3D Engine) See SConstruct and the SConscript in the subdirectory folders

• Atoms (C++ wrapper of basic POSIX API). SConstruct

• sigsafe (C library for safe signal handling) SConstruct

• Spook (X11 window manager) This project has disappeared almost without trace.

• CapiSuite (ISDN telecommunication suite) See SConstruct and referenced files. The previous maintainer has left the project and there has been no news of a new contributor for over a year.

• kio-clucene (flexible local search kio-slave for KDE) There appears to be no activity since 2005.

• Libverticale-xhtml A semantic art gallery framework. The developer has announced that it it no longer under development.

• Rekall (KDE database frontend) Projects which previously used SCons as their build system:

• OpenWengo (VoIP softphone) SCons was used for one and a half years, but it has now been removed in favour of CMake.

• XMMS2 Next generation XMMS software. Has now switched to waf.

• KDevelop (IDE for C++ and other languages) They created a proof of concept for using scons, but later switched to CMake.

• bksys was a scons-based build system used by kde programs. In 2006 it evolved into waf, a competitor for SCons.

• Delta3D Open source gaming and simulations engine, switched to CMake

Non Open source projects which use SCons as their build system:

• ISTS TCP BIOS A proprietary loader software for a telecomunications traffic simulator
• Battlefield 1942 (FPS and vehicle action game)
• Vocon3200 speech recognition engine and SDK for automotive navigation systems from Nuance
• Vocalizer speech synthesis engine and SDK for embedded systems from Nuance
  • Nuance uses SBuild, a drop-in add-on to SCons-local, since January 2005. SBuild is not open source (yet).
• http://www.doom3.com iD Software's Doom 3 SDK includes the internally used Scons files.
• COPS 2170: The Power of Law (cyberpunk style tactical strategy with RPG elements)
• ALFA: Antiterror (tactical simulation)
• Pin (Binary Instrumentation Tool)

On 2008-02-17, Mark Brown scanned the packages in the Debian distribution for packages that used SCons. There may be some false positives due to the nature of the scan, but he found 35 packages. Many of them don't seem to be listed above. If someone has some spare cycles, tracking down the projects missing above and adding them would be a good thing.
