[Scons-users] Removing object files

[Christopher Dimech]

I have to think about it and try the idea out. It is more complicated
than having just a single SConstruct. The reason is that the package
is a muldisciplinary project consisting of a number of sub-projects.
Each subproject will have its own set of tests (for example 33 tests
for sub-project vik),

Currently each test program within a sub-project is built using a
separate .py file. I have the problem that some files would not
compile successfully, but as they would not be needed for a particular
test program, I would not try to compile them unless the test required
using the functionality.

I plan to have a seperate SConstruct for each sub-project. Do you know
of any similar projects so I can get some realistic ideas from? Using
your comments I can try to get all tests in a sub-project in one
SConstruct file so I can build the test program I wish. I am ending up
with a very large number of .py scripts.
