Uses the atom-build package to execute scons in the Atom editor.

Prerequisites

This package requires atom-build:

apm install build

Optionally to display compile errors and warnings nicely, add the linter package:

apm install linter

Install

Install the scons builder from the package sources:

apm install build-scons

Or install from git:

cd $HOME/.atom/packages
git clone https://github.com/wendlers/atom-build-scons.git build-scons
cd build-scons
apm install

Usage

See atom-build for available key-bindings.

The scons builder is triggered by the presence of a sconstruct or SConstruct file.

In the settings dialog of the build-scons package it is possible to configure the following:

  • silent Don't print commands
  • suppress progress messages Suppress "Reading/Building" progress messages
  • jobs Number of jobs to run in parallel
  • separate build dir Select for out of tree builds using a separate build dir. All the build artifacts will go to : PROJ_DIR/../PROJ_NAME_build'.

The builder defines the following default targets:

  • release build with variables debug=0, release=1
  • debug build with variables debug=1, release=0
  • default build with no variables set
  • clean build with -c flag

You could provide per project targets by creating the file targets.ini alongside the sconstruct script. Each target is defined by [targetname], followed by an entry specifying the SCons targets, and an entry giving the SCons parameters:

[my target]
params="debug=1 release=0"

[my target clean]
targets=-c

[my special target]
targets="this that"
params="debug=1 release=0"

Known Issues

  • A newly created targets.ini is not detected without reloading (e.g. Shift+Ctrl+F5). However, changes to an existing targets.ini are detected and activated without reload.
