Help(""" This is the second scons example. In this example we explore more options in scons. Once you start doing anything useful with scons other than showing how simple scons works, you will have to create an environment to have more control on the build. One can "Dump()" the environment to see all the underlying details. We can also compare between Linux and windows environments. >> ls foo.cpp foo.hpp main.cpp SConstruct >> scons scons: Reading SConscript files ... ------------------>starting ------------------>ending scons: done reading SConscript files. scons: Building targets ... g++ -o foo.o -c foo.cpp g++ -o main.o -c main.cpp g++ -o helloworld main.o foo.o scons: done building targets. >> ls -a total 68 drwxr-xr-x 2 brgirgis users 154 Sep 26 23:04 ./ drwxr-xr-x 5 brgirgis users 36 Sep 26 22:44 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 brgirgis users 21096 Sep 26 23:04 env.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 brgirgis users 48 Sep 26 22:42 foo.cpp -rw-r--r-- 1 brgirgis users 109 Sep 26 22:40 foo.hpp -rw-r--r-- 1 brgirgis users 1256 Sep 26 23:03 foo.o -rwxr-xr-x 1 brgirgis users 13288 Sep 26 23:03 helloworld* -rw-r--r-- 1 brgirgis users 117 Sep 26 22:41 main.cpp -rw-r--r-- 1 brgirgis users 2872 Sep 26 23:03 main.o -rw-r--r-- 1 brgirgis users 2441 Sep 26 23:04 .sconsign.dblite -rw-r--r-- 1 brgirgis users 1348 Sep 26 23:04 SConstruct >> scons --tree=all helloworld scons: Reading SConscript files ... ------------------>starting ------------------>ending scons: done reading SConscript files. scons: Building targets ... scons: `helloworld' is up to date. +-helloworld +-main.o | +-main.cpp | +-foo.hpp | +-/usr/bin/g++ +-foo.o | +-foo.cpp | +-foo.hpp | +-/usr/bin/g++ +-/usr/bin/g++ scons: done building targets.
