[Scons-users] How to schedule long actions earlier in the compile phase

[Don Baldwin]

Hi,

In our build, we have some particularly long actions that take about 10 minutes to complete.  If these get scheduled early during the compile phase of the build, there is no problem, but if they get scheduled later, then they become a long pole in the build, and keep running after everything else is complete.  This is causing some builds to take up to 5 minutes longer than others.

Is there a way to force SCons to run some actions before others as soon as they become available?  Maybe something like a priority queue?

Thanks,
Don Baldwin
