-ABOUT SCONS PACKAGES
-====================
-
-The complete SCons system is comprised of three separate packages:
-
- scons [THIS PACKAGE]
- The scons script itself, plus the SCons build engine
- installed into an SCons-specific library directory.
-
- python-scons
- The SCons build engine, installed into the standard
- Python library directory.
-
- scons-script
- Only the scons script itself.
-
-Depending on what you want to do with SCons, you may need to install
-additional (or other) packages:
-
- If you just want to use scons (the script) to build software:
-
- Install this package. You do not need to install any other
- packages.
-
- If you do NOT want to use the scons script, but you want to use the
- SCons build engine in other Python software:
-
- Do NOT install this package. Install the python-scons package
- instead.
-
- If you want to use the scons script AND you want to use the SCons
- build engine in other Python software:
-
- Install this package AND install the python-scons package.
-
- Note that this installs two separate copies of the build engine,
- one (in an SCons-specific library directory) used by the scons
- script itself and one (in the standard Python library) used by
- other software. This allows you the flexibility to upgrade
- one build engine without affecting the other.
-
- If you want the scons script and other Python software to use the
- same version of the build engine:
-
- Do NOT install this package. Install the python-scons AND the
- scons-script packages instead.
-

INSTALLATION
============
@@ -79,6 +31,11 @@ script as follows:
# python setup.py
+This will install the scons script in the default script directory
+(/usr/bin or C:\Python*\Scripts, for example) and the build engine in an
+appropriate SCons library directory (/usr/lib/scons or C:\Python*\SCons,

You should have system installation privileges (that is, "root" or
"Administrator") when running the setup.py script.
