[Scons-users] UT application does not get built

[Dynastic Space]

Fixed it, but I still need to understand the reason:

I was running scons like this:

scons applications/app

Now, there is a SConscript file under applications/app (not shown in the
tree above, sorry), which calls env.Program for both app and app-ut.
However, the program build for app-ut was not being called.
Once I ran scons without pointing it to applicaitons/app, the ut
application started getting built.

Could you please explain why that happens, and how I could have figured it
out more easily?

Thanks,

Howling
