[Scons-users] Using $SOURCE files with _concat and Command String Parsing

[William D. Jones]

Hello Drifk.

This seems to be a recurring theme- only being able to respond once a month. 
However, I finally uploaded my tool to a git repository, but I can't add my 
link to the wiki since I don't have an account and the Tools page appears to 
be immutable. Would you be willing to add the information for me?

The Tool is for The OpenWatcom C/C++ Compiler, and can be checked out using 
the following command:
"git clone http://code.google.com/p/scons-wat/ watcom"

"watcom" is the name of the tool passed into the Tools option in 
Environment, so this can be cloned directly into a project or installed to 
the user's .scons directory and will work either way,

Any feedback on making the tool better would be appreciated- there are 
certainly edge cases (particularly with the fact that to link resource 
files, I have to separate them from object files using the "resource" 
directive), but I need time to make some test builds for it.

Additionally, there are some variables that I have defined to customize the 
compiler's target environment, such as env['USE_386'], and env['MEMMODEL']. 
I'm not sure if defining new environment variables is the most appropriate 
way (or obvious way to new users) to go about solving this issue where 
certain command line variables are required to be in the environment (e.g. 
in CCCOM), but their values are not known until build time. This does work 
for the time being however.

Thanks for the help!

Sincerely,

Hi William,

thanks for the follow-up message, good to hear that everything seems to
be working for you now.

Regarding the Watcom Tool, please don't hesitate to open a DVCS
repository for what you have at the moment. Just put it up to
bitbucket/github/launchpad...whereever, be it complete and stable, or
buggy as hell.
Publishing the work you've done so far, is the best way to attract other
people and getting feedback from them.

We don't have any formal requirements for a Tool to get published on our
ToolsIndex ( http://scons.org/wiki/ToolsIndex ), any snippet can be
helpful to other users. So add a link to your stuff there, now. ;)

And if you find the time to work on it some more and encounter any
problems, just shout and we'll try to help you out.

Best regards,

Dirk
