  SESAME is a synchrotron light source under installation located in Allan, Jordan. It consists of 2.5 GeV storage-ring, a 800 MeV Booster-Synchrotron and a 22 MeV Microtron as Pre-Injector. SESAME succeeded to get the first beam from Microtron, the booster is expected to be commissioned by the end of 2013, the storage-ring by the end of 2015 and the first beam-lines in 2016. This paper presents building of control systems of SEAME booster. EPICS is the main control-software tool and EDM for building GUIs which is being replaced by CSS. PLCs are used mainly for the interlocks in the vacuum system and power-supplies of the magnets, and in diagnostics for florescent screens and camera- switches. Soft IOCs are used for different serial devices (e.g. vacuum gauge controllers) through Moxa terminal servers and Booster power supplies through Ethernet connection. Libera Electron modules with EPICS tools (IOCs and GUIs) from Diamond Light Source are used for beam position monitoring. The timing System consists of one EVG and three EVR cards from Micro Research Finland (MRF). A distributed version control repository using Git is used at SESAME to track development of the control subsystems.
