Building gRPC, Protobuf, etc with SCons

[nathan...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I work at a company that relies heavily on SCons for its C++ build tooling (don't ask me why). I've found some examples of generating Protocol Buffer files with SCons:

https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/wiki/ProtocBuilder

But I can't find any working examples searching online for building the gRPC C/C++ libraries and *.grpc.pb.cc, *.grpc.pb.h files, etc. using SCons. My immediate goal is to build the helloworld example with SCons as a proof of concept.

Asking the community for any references/instructions if you are aware of any.

Hi,

We currently don't support SCons, and don't know of anyone else who has used it with gRPC.   We are not opposed to accepting contributions to generating the configuration for SCons from our source of truth (a YAML file which we use to generate Make, CMake, and Bazel build files).
