Spending tonight installing my system onto servers in the lab, so that another student can do a thesis using it. I should be flattered, but as I see it the system isn't usable yet.... so this ends up being added pressure that I didn't ask for and don't particularly need. I wish I had someone to setup the lab for my thesis - must be nice.
Scons You Suck
I HATE when you get a program that looks promising (scons looks promising) and the examples in the documentation won't even work. Autoconf/automake had the same problem.
Scons appears so beautifully simple, but as soon as I introduce common source files, the build breaks with the following error.
scons: *** Two different sets of overrides were specified for the same target: CppSQLite.o
Here is the SConstruct file.
Program( ['addproject.cpp', 'CppSQLite.cpp'], LIBS=['sqlite'], LIBPATH='.' )
Program( ['adddata.cpp', 'CppSQLite.cpp'], LIBS=['sqlite', 'z', 'tar'], LIBPATH='.' )
Program( ['addexec.cpp', 'CppSQLite.cpp'], LIBS=['sqlite', 'z', 'tar'], LIBPATH='.' )
Program( ['addtask.cpp', 'CppSQLite.cpp'], LIBS=['sqlite'], LIBPATH='.' )
Will someone please make a build system that works like the documentation says it does!!! Or update the documentation.
Sure, I'll be the lab gimp....
