Hello world

SConstruct file

Create a pain text file called SConstruct containing the following:

Program(source = 'main.c')

e.g.

.
├── SConstruct
└── main.c

Build

Enter the command scons at the CLI:

$ scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
gcc -o main.o -c main.c
gcc -o main main.o
scons: done building targets.

This creates an executable file main

Run

$ ./main 
Hello from scons

Cleanup

To remove all intermediate files (e.g. .o files), simple invoke scons with the cleanup -c flag:

$ scons -c
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Cleaning targets ...
Removed main.o
Removed main
scons: done cleaning targets.
