The scons build definitely lets you build only a single target (program or library) at a time. What is missing is the ability to compile a single source file. The nice thing about the scons build is that it will compile source files in parallel and not just projects in parallel. I think this helps things go faster (for non-IB builds), especially if you have a 4 core system ;-)
That said, the scons build has a much higher startup cost than VS because unlike VS, the scons build system is not kept resident between builds. -Darin On Fri, Nov 14, 2008 at 10:29 AM, Marc-Antoine Ruel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > I agree.
