xboxdrv doesn’t use scons for installing, but instead using a
makefile! Everything else is in scons so we have to keep that. I’ve
added a dontUseSconsInstall flag to the scons setup-hook to skip the
automatic overwrite of default “make install” call.
The scons build system is python-based and has a binary named scons. Unlike CMake, it cannot generate makefiles so we end up having to override the build, install, and check phases. I have added the setupHook to the scons package so that integration requires no unique steps - just putting scons in nativeBuildInputs should be enough. sconsFlags controls the flags specifically passed to scons while buildFlags, installFlags, and checkFlags should still be usable. Some packages use different names for the prefix flag. In those cases you will have to set "prefixKey" to something like "PREFIX=" as there are multiple names for the "prefix" used in scons.

several issues." - http://scons.org/scons-301-is-available.html
More than 90% of the 346 rebuilds succeed without any problems (I've
tested it against aeff3080d0). As far as I
can tell most of the problematic packages either failed before the
upgrade or for a reason that is unrelated to this SCons update. But it
is possible that this'll cause a few regressions, I'll try to watch out
for build failures on Hydra.
The attribute sconsPackages.scons_3_0_0 is still available in case this
breaks anything.
"SCons release 3.0.0 now available from the download page at
SourceForge. This release should be used instead of 2.5.1. This release
fixes several issues. TThis will be the first release to support Python
versions earlier than 2.7 as well as 3.5+."
"NOTE: This is a major release. You should expect that some targets may
rebuild when upgrading. Significant changes in some python action
signatures. Also switching between PY 2.7 and PY 3.5, 3.6 will cause
rebuilds."
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
- The flag "--mandir" has no effect with setup.py. Instead, "--install-data"
must be used.
- Don't generate wrappers for trivial symlink aliases in bin.
- Prefer symlinks over hard-links.
- The dependencies of this expression don't need to be propagated.

I've also set the 'platforms' attribute to ensure that Hydra actually
builds these packages. Thanks to Lluís Batlle i Rossell for pointing out
these mistakes.

* Updated scons to version 1.0.0. Also added appropriate makeWrapper calls to
ensure that the python binary finds its library files.
* Updated Twisted from 2.5 to 8.1.
* Added an expression for buildbot.

This patch moves curly braces to the end of the line, i.e.
foo = {
...
};
instead of the previously used style:
foo =
{
...
};
I commit this change hoping that my contributions to this project now conform
to the rules described in maintainers/docs/coding-conventions.txt so that the
self-appointed indention sheriff of the NixOS community can finally get off my
back and rest assured knowing that all i's are dotted and all t's are crossed.

Scons is not only a tool, it's also a python library. However, the
modules are installed in ~/.nix-profile/lib/scons-${version} -- not in
python's "site-packages" directory -- so python won't find the library
without further help. Maybe there should be a symlink in nix-profile? I
guess there should, but I didn't know how to write that into the
expression.

URLs to http://nix.cs.uu.nl/dist/tarballs. With content-addressable
mirror support (r9190, NIXPKGS-70) this is no longer necessary:
fetchurl will try to download from that location automatically. So
we can keep the original URLs.
