This is to make library builds more - convenient by allowing both static (compiled without -fPIC) and - shared object files (compiled with -fPIC) to exist side-by-side. - If you want to preserve the old behavior of using .o files for - shared objects, you must now explicitly reset the SHOBJSUFFIX - value in your construction environment as follows: - - env = Environment(SHOBJSUFFIX = '.o') - - - The default behavior when no targets are specified has been changed - to be like Make: everything in the current directory and below will - be built. This can be disabled by specifying "Default(None)" in an - SConscript, in which case there will be no default targets and - SCons will print an appropriate error message. - - - Setting the BUILDERS construction variable now properly clears - the previous Builder attributes from the construction Environment. - Before, you could initialize BUILDERS like so: - - env = Environment(BUILDERS = {'NewBuilder' : foo}) - - And still use the canned default Builders like env.Program(), - env.Object(), env.StaticLibrary(), etc. No more. Beginning with - SCons 0.10, an initialization like that above will create an - Environment with only the env.NewBuilder() Builder. - - So now, if you want to use a new builder in addition to the default - builders, you should explicitly append your new builder to the - existing ones using techniques like the following: - - env.Append(BUILDERS = {'NewBuilder' : foo}) - - env['BUILDERS']['newbuilder'] = foo - - - An "env" argument has been added to the calls to all functions that - return a string for a Python function Action. This makes the string - function and build function calls take the same arguments: - - def build_it(target, source, env): - # build the target from the source - return 0 - - def string_it(target, source, env): - return "building '%s' from '%s'" % (target[0], source[0]) - - a = Action(build_it, string_it) - - If you have defined a strfunction() for a Python function Action, - you will need to add a third "env" argument to your function call. - 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 |
