Isn't Scons abandon-ware? I remember it being part of the build setup at work at some point and it caused quite a bit of frustrations because it broke every now and then. I believe it was mainly failing on Windows.

Conan's recent development is promising and it gives you the full power of Python. It can also be used declaratively but with limitations. If I remember correctly, there are discussions in the C++ world about a declarative exchange format for dependencies and build information, but it's in the early stages. It's not trivial because there are also C++ modules now.
