These messages may be suppressed with the new -Q option. - Please note the following important changes since release 0.07: - - - Builder objects no longer automatically split target and source - file strings on white space. SCons will interpret the string - arguments for the target or source files as the complete name of - the file, even if the name contains white space. - - Consequently, any builder calls that you have defined which supply - multiple file names in a single string, such as: - - env.Program(target = 'foo', source = 'f1.c f2.c') - - These calls must be changed. You may either split up the string - into an array of individual file name strings by hand: - - env.Program(target = 'foo', source = ['f1.c', 'f2.c']) - - Or you may use the newly-provided Split() function to turn a - string of white-space separated file names into an array: - - env.Program(target = 'foo', source = Split('f1.c f2.c')) - - The Split() function preserves the functionality that the builder - objects currently invoke internally: if the argument is a string, - it will be split on white space; if the argument is already a list, - the list will be returned. - - (You may, of course, also use the string.split() function from - the standard Python library to convert your strings.) - - - The Object and Library builders no longer use the "shared" keyword - argument to specify if the target object or library is a - shared library. Instead, separate StaticObject, SharedObject, - StaticLibrary and SharedLibrary builders exist to build the - appropriate target explicitly. The Object and Library builders - are now synonyms for StaticObject and StaticLibrary, respecitvely. - - - The prefix, suffix, and src_suffix keyword arguments to the - Builder() function may no longer be callable functions. + - 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.
