It is simplicity itself to include multiple files in the build. Remember that SCons is Python-based?
# SConstruct file
import glob
- Library(glob.glob('*.c') + glob.gloc
('source_dir_2/*.cc'), 'sam')
+ Library(glob.glob('*.c') + glob.glob
('source_dir_2/*.cc'), 'sam')
Python's ''glob'' module does all the hard work. Again, full dependency tracking and all other features of SCons work correctly.
!! Hierarchical builds
SCons supports hierarchical builds with the use of the ''SConscript'' directive. These scripts will be read and their information processed. A new SCons is not forked for every ''SConscript'' directive, unlike the usual recursive make solution.
+
+Including other directories in the build is as simple as:
+
+ # SConstruct file
+ SConscript("dir1/")
+ SConscript("dir2/")
+
+This will read in the ''SConscript'' files in ''dir1'' and ''dir2''. It is possible to export environments to these other scripts if needs be.
