We have a fairly large C/C++ project using scons for the building. I'd like to go at an attempt to build this through Eclipse-CDT. Anyone have any experience with this and can tell me the steps to set up scons as a builder. (NOT using the SConsBuilder plugin, it will not work with the Eclipse-CDT from Fedora-11).

One of our students implemented a new SCons integration for Eclipse CDT that works bi-directional, i.e., it can import SCons files and populate Eclipse CDT projects with the corresponding settings and it can generate SCons files from Eclipse project settings. In addition it provides an interactive SCons mode that speeds up incremental building of larger SCons projects significantly. It will be released to the public for free soon, see http://sconsolidator.com
