Godot uses SCsub files to build sub dependencies about geodot-plugin

This would probably help with rebuilding from scratch using scons --clean

Oops

vector-extractor clemens$ scons --clean
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
No valid target platform selected.

Good idea, I'll try that!

Godot uses in core/SCsub which gave me an error while testing. The nice effect is the SCsub will become almost empty.

#!/usr/bin/env python

Import("env")

I've played around with it a bit, and I'm not 100% sure whether we really want to use that kind of SConscript() call. It does make hierarchical builds easier, but we also want the ability to build only one of the libraries (e.g. when testing new functionality in that part). The paths get mingled with this SConscript() call, which actually makes some things more difficult :/

Still, scons --clean would be quite practical, I'll see if there's another way for that.

Not sure how your testing goes right now.

Is https://scons.org/doc/production/HTML/scons-user.html#chap-add-method pseudo builder which talks about def BuildTestProg to build for a particular Env which I read as a sub directory.

If we align this with how Godot does adding Web, Android and iOS could be easier.

What do you think?

[clemens-tolboom]

Any idea?
