[Scons-users] Is it possible to use Copy Action Functions outside of SConscript?

[Pierre-Luc Boily]

No totally a builder, but like that :

#In my SConscript :
idlGeneratedHeaders = env.compile_idl_files()

#In my util file (I call those function pseudo-builder, they are not really
builder, but they actually call a builder.  In this case, env.Command)
def compile_idl_files(env):
    """
    Compile all the IDL with DDS idlpp tool.
    returns the list of header files generated.
    """
    idlFiles = env.Glob('*.idl', exclude=['*Dcps.idl'])
    idlGeneratedHeaders = []
    variantDirOutput = str(env.Dir('.').path) #Where to generate .h & .cpp
from IDL
    for idlFile in idlFiles:
        tgtCpp, tgtH, ccpp = create_target_for_idl(env, idlFile)
        idlGeneratedHeaders += tgtH + ccpp
        env.Command(target = tgtCpp + tgtH + ccpp,
                    source = idlFile,
                    action =
[env.Execute(Copy(os.path.join(env['LOCALROOT'], variantDirOutput,
idlFile), idlFile)),
                              'idlpp -S -l cpp -d ' + variantDirOutput + '
$SOURCE'])

    return idlGeneratedHeaders
