[Scons-users] Out of project tree builds

[Russel Winder]

Hi,

A D user tried SCons, got frustrated and announced giving up on SCons.
One of the problems this person had was not being able to do "out of
project tree builds". I tried an experiment and it is clear that SCons
refuses to have a variant directory in a directory only reachable
from .. of the directory in which the SConstruct file resides.

Although I have never previously tried this, it is clearly a sensible
thing to want to do. So how Can this be achieved in SCons without
relying on symbolic links in the project tree?
