[Scons-users] Custom Builder

[William Roberts]

Dirk,

Wasn't sure how to just do a reply from this mailing list as I get the
archived one. The miniat custom builder looks like:

Relevant parts of the builder:

import os;

class MiniatBuilder(object):
	
	def __init__(self, rootdir, libdir, exedir, env, variant_dir):
		self._rootdir = rootdir
		self._libdir = libdir
		self._exedir = exedir
		self._variant_dir = variant_dir
		self._env = env
		self._env.Append(LIBPATH = libdir)
		self._env.Append(CPPPATH = '#/vm/inc')

		bld = self._env.Builder(action = 'flex -i -o $TARGET $SOURCE',
			src_suffix = '.flex')
		self._env.Append(BUILDERS = {'Flex' : bld})

		bld = self._env.Builder(action = '0x1_lemon $SOURCE.file',
			src_suffix = '.flex', chdir=1)
		self._env.Append(BUILDERS = {'Lemon' : bld})

	def flex(self, NAME=None, SRC=None):
		return self._env.Flex(NAME, SRC)

	def lemon(self, SRC=None):
		return self._env.Lemon(SRC)

to reproduce do something like:

1. Have a SConstruct file that exports a class defined in another
file, like foo.py

2. foo.py constructor should have a env variable (env = Environment()
) set in the constructor in the SConstruct such as: foo(env)
    the constructor should also add a custom Builder, such as in the
code above. The foo.py should also define a method in the class
    that calls the custom builder.

3. Have the SContruct file export that variable to a SConscript file

4. Have a SConscript file Import that variable

5. Call the custom builder.


You can look at the code directly if you want to go to miniat.bitbucket.org

I really appreciate your help, trying to switch from Make to SCons is
anew thing for me.

Bill

what exactly does MiniatBuilder::flex() look like? Is it calling
self._env.Flex()?

A simple but complete test case would be nice, such that I can try to
reproduce the problem on my side.

Best regards,

Dirk
