How to force Scons output (exe, obj, lib & dll) to specific build directory?

Question

I\'ve been trying to get scons to output exe, obj, lib and dll files to a specific build directory.

My file structure looks like this:

/projectdir
          


        

Answer 1

The VariantDir (also described in the user guide) tells scons to put generated files in a separate directory. In older versions of scons this function was named BuildDir.

You may also want to read up on avoiding duplicating the source directory (described both in the user guide and on the wiki).
