[Scons-users] Questions about tool selection

[Kenny, Jason L]

I think you can just add a .scons-site/tools/default.py locally and this will allow you to override the default logic that is used by scons.

That is an interesting idea. I'll give it a try. It would be fairly 'surgical' since I could basically say:

env = Environment(tools=["default"])
if solaris:
  env.Tool('gnulink')

so it wouldn't affect other platforms.
