Scons. Go recursive with Glob

Question

I using scons for a few days and confused a bit. Why there is no built-in tools for building sources recursively starting from given root? Let me explain: I have such source

Answer 1

The Glob() SCons function doesnt have the ability to go recursive.

It would be much more efficient if you change your Python code to use the list.extend() function, like this:

sources = Glob('./builds/Std/*/*.cpp')
sources.extend(Glob('./builds/Std/*.cpp'))
sources.extend(Glob('./builds/Std/*/*/*.cpp'))
sources.extend(Glob('./builds/Std/*/*/*/*.cpp'))

Instead of trying to go recursive like you are, its quite common to have a SConscript script in each subdirectory and in the root SConstruct call each of them with the SConscript() function. This is called a SCons hierarchical build.
