=head1 Default targets
Until now, we've demonstrated invoking Cons with an explicit target
to build:
% cons hello
Normally, Cons does not build anything unless a target is specified,
but specifying '.' (the current directory) will build everything:
% cons # does not build anything
% cons . # builds everything under the top-level directory
Adding the C<Default> method to any F<Construct> or F<Conscript> file will add
the specified targets to a list of default targets. Cons will build
these defaults if there are no targets specified on the command line.
So adding the following line to the top-level F<Construct> file will mimic
Make's typical behavior of building everything by default:
Default '.';
The following would add the F<hello> and F<goodbye> commands (in the
same directory as the F<Construct> or F<Conscript> file) to the default list:
Default qw(
hello
goodbye
);
The C<Default> method may be used more than once to add targets to the
default list.
-->
<para>
As mentioned previously,
&SCons; will build every target
in or below the current directory
by default--that is, when you don't
explicitly specify one or more targets
on the command line.
Sometimes, however, you may want
to specify explicitly that only
certain programs should be built by default.
You do this with the &Default; function:
</para>
<scons_example name="ex1">
<file name="SConstruct" printme="1">
env = Environment()
hello = env.Program('hello.c')
env.Program('goodbye.c')
Default(hello)
</file>
<file name="hello.c">
hello.c
</file>
<file name="goodbye.c">
goodbye.c
</file>
</scons_example>
<para>
This &SConstruct; file knows how to build two programs,
&hello; and &goodbye;,
but only builds the
&hello; program by default:
</para>
<scons_output example="ex1">
<command>scons</command>
<command>scons</command>
<command>scons goodbye</command>
</scons_output>
<para>
Note that, even when you use the &Default;
function in your &SConstruct; file,
you can still explicitly specify the current directory
(<literal>.</literal>) on the command line
to tell &SCons; to build
everything in (or below) the current directory:
</para>
<scons_output example="ex1">
<command>scons .</command>
</scons_output>
<para>
You can also call the &Default;
function more than once,
in which case each call
adds to the list of targets to be built by default:
</para>
<scons_example name="ex2">
<file name="SConstruct" printme="1">
env = Environment()
prog1 = env.Program('prog1.c')
Default(prog1)
prog2 = env.Program('prog2.c')
prog3 = env.Program('prog3.c')
Default(prog3)
</file>
<file name="prog1.c">
prog1.c
</file>
<file name="prog2.c">
prog2.c
</file>
<file name="prog3.c">
prog3.c
</file>
</scons_example>
<para>
Or you can specify more than one target
in a single call to the &Default; function:
</para>
<programlisting>
env = Environment()
prog1 = env.Program('prog1.c')
prog2 = env.Program('prog2.c')
prog3 = env.Program('prog3.c')
Default(prog1, prog3)
</programlisting>
<para>
Either of these last two examples
will build only the
<application>prog1</application>
and
<application>prog3</application>
programs by default:
</para>
<scons_output example="ex2">
<command>scons</command>
<command>scons .</command>
</scons_output>
<para>
Lastly, if for some reason you don't want
any targets built by default,
you can use the Python <literal>None</literal>
variable:
</para>
<scons_example name="ex3">
<file name="SConstruct" printme="1">
env = Environment()
prog1 = env.Program('prog1.c')
prog2 = env.Program('prog2.c')
Default(None)
</file>
<file name="prog1.c">
prog1.c
</file>
<file name="prog2.c">
prog2.c
</file>
</scons_example>
<para>
Which would produce build output like:
</para>
<scons_output example="ex3">
<command>scons</command>
<command>scons .</command>
</scons_output>
