[Scons-users] Value nodes as targets

[Jason Kenny]

I know I can use them in builders as targets and sources. I thought at one point a scons allowed them to be used as command line targets ie ..

scons myvalue

however when I try such as thing I get a error message that the myvalue file is not found. If I make the “myvalue” node to an env.Alias(“myAlias”,myvalue) I can then say

scons myAlias

and the myvalue node will build.

Value nodes can however be used as source nodes. The textfile builder does this.

Hi,

I just wanted to make sure I was correct in the understanding that we cannot use Value nodes as targets for SCons.

A user has to map a value node to a Alias to have SCons call it.
