It is very easy to build a simple C++ project. Here is an example of a SConstruct file that does so:

env=Environment()

env.Program('hello', Glob('src/*.cpp'))

This creates the executable hello composed of all the sources in src with extension cpp.

This example shows more detailed build settings:

env=Environment(
    CPPPATH='/usr/include/boost/',
    CPPDEFINES=['foo'],
    LIBS=['bar'],
    SCONS_CXX_STANDARD='c++11')

env.Program('hello', Glob('src/*.cpp'))

This builds the executable hello from all the cpp files in src, with the following settings:

• The search path is `/usr/include/boost'

• The constant FOO is defined

• The executable links with bar

• C++11 is used as a standard
