[Scons-users] using Configure Contexts

[Bill Deegan]

Stefan,

I'm not sure what you mean by "appropriate use of configure contexts"?
There's reasonable examples in the users guide.

Basically you create an Environment(), then you create a configure context
using that, then you setup a bunch of checkers.
The results of those you use to alter the Environment() you've specified to
the configure context.

The configure contexts are part of SCons's functionality meant to replace
autoconf.
