Anatoly, A manpage is supposed to be the definitive list of all the API’s. If you think you can do anything substantive with a system based on a cursory read of some short documentation, I believe you are mistaken.
That said a trivial build doesn’t require a more complete comprehension of SCons. He’s working on an issue dealing with how variantdirs implemented based on an option. I think it’s reasonable that a good read of the manpage and at the very least searching the manpage for related terms is reasonable. -Bill On July 29, 2014 at 11:32:58 PM, anatoly techtonik ([email protected]) wrote: On Wed, Jul 30, 2014 at 3:16 AM, William Deegan <[email protected]> wrote: > William, > > Yes that is used for VariantDir’s.. > There’s also an argument to such: > > BuildDir(build_dir, src_dir, [duplicate]) , env.BuildDir(build_dir, src_dir, > [duplicate]) > Deprecated synonyms for VariantDir and env.VariantDir().

Thorough read is a big design fail if you ask me. Tools for humans need to be intuitive, so I hope our goal is to get a tool that needs very short introduction to get going, and just a short reference for all major concepts. -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list [email protected] http://two.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
