SCons also makes building with Java extremely easy.
Unlike the Program
and Object
builder methods,
however, the Java
builder method
requires that you specify
the name of a destination directory in which
you want the class files placed,
followed by the source directory
in which the .java
files live:
Java('classes', 'src')
If the src
directory
contains a single hello.java
file,
then the output from running the scons command
would look something like this
(on a POSIX system):
% scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
javac -d classes -sourcepath src src/hello.java
scons: done building targets.
Java builds will be covered in much more detail,
including building a Java archive (.jar
)
and other types of files,
in Chapter 24, Java Builds.
