make(1) is not for everyone. I've had to maintain the build system for a reasonably large and complex project and using makefiles has been more and more of a headache as time has passed. I have found almost no redeeming features in make - the only thing I can say for it is that most people who wish to compile software will have it installed.
!!! Should I use SCons too?
-Maybe. SCons requires whoever has to compile the software has both Python and SCons installed. If this is an acceptable requirement, then the answer is probably "yes".

The worst thing about SCons is that it does take some time to learn. It is not hard to learn; being based on the simple but powerful programming language Python helps here, but it can be hard to make the leap from a system you already know to a new one, even if the old system is inferior, simply because of the extra time it takes to learn the new system. However, I (SamJansen) recommend learning modern build systems that don't emply make.
