VariantDir
With an SConscript File
Even when using the VariantDir
function,
it's much more natural to use it with
a subsidiary SConscript file.
For example, if the
src/SConscript
looks like this:
env = Environment() env.Program('hello.c')
Then our SConstruct file could look like:
VariantDir('build', 'src') SConscript('build/SConscript')
Yielding the following output:
% ls src SConscript hello.c % scons -Q cc -o build/hello.o -c build/hello.c cc -o build/hello build/hello.o % ls build SConscript hello hello.c hello.o
Notice that this is completely equivalent to the use of SConscript that we learned about in the previous section.
