[Scons-users] Add specific command line parameters for Visual Studio Project

[M. Laurent MARCHELLI]

Hi Dirk,

Thank you for your answer, please find more information on what we are trying to achieve :

I use the following command line from the global project root :
To build complete solution for Debug|Win32 :		scons debug=True target_arch=32
To build complete solution for Release|Win32:	scons debug=False target_arch=32
To build complete solution for Debug|x64:		scons debug=True target_arch=x64
To build complete solution for Release|x64:		scons debug=False target_arch=x64

And, for each variant, I wanted to add the corresponding command line parameter to the 'Build command line' written inside the Visual Studio Project file generated by SCons.
I had a look to the variant directory, even it seems to be a good solution for new incomer project, unfortunately it is difficult to apply to our huge solution. 
In fact, modifying 930 SConscripts files in a production project does not seem reasonable. :-(

In SCons you usually handle building variants of your source code via using the "variant_dir" functionality, which gets described in the UserGuide, chap. 15 "Separating Source and Build Directories" ( scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-user.html#idp14616296 ).
