SCons used to ignore these files, so builds that - formally succeeded despite the absence of a scanned file will now - fail unless the -k (keep going on error) flag is used. - - - The specification of the name for the 'lib' tool (the Microsoft - library archiver) has now been changed to 'mslib'. If you - previously used the Tool() method to fetch the 'lib' tool - explicitly, you will need to change the name in the call to - 'mslib': - - env = Environment(tools = [ Tool('mslib') ]) - - - In order to make it clear what SCons is doing when, SCons now - prints explicit messages: - - scons: Reading SConscript files ... - scons: done reading SConscript files. - scons: Building targets ... - scons: done building targets. - - These message might interfere with scripts that examine SCons - output. These messages may be suppressed with the new -Q option. - - - User defined build arguments passed into builder calls are no - longer given to emitters, generators, and function actions as - keyword arguments, but are instead passed as construction - variables. - SCons is developed with an extensive regression test suite, and a rigorous development methodology for continually improving that suite. Because of this, SCons is of sufficient quality that you can use it |
