I have a library project that contains some samples in a subfolder.
The library itself has a SConstruct
file and each sample has its own folder and its own SConstruct
file.
I'd like to add a target to the main (root) SConstruct
file which would allow me to compile the library as usual, and all the samples, at once.
Is there an existing mechanism/builder for this ?
P.S: I don't want to have only one big SConstruct
file because I want the samples folders to remain independant.

Creating a Hierarchical Build
Notice that the file names specified
in a subdirectory's SConscript file
are relative to that subdirectory.
SConstruct:
env = Environment()
env.Program(target = 'foo', source = 'foo.c')
SConscript('sub/SConscript')
sub/SConscript:
env = Environment()
# Builds sub/foo from sub/foo.c
env.Program(target = 'foo', source = 'foo.c')
SConscript('dir/SConscript')
sub/dir/SConscript:
env = Environment()
# Builds sub/dir/foo from sub/dir/foo.c
env.Program(target = 'foo', source = 'foo.c')
For those like me coming to this question from Google, I found a more complete example of building a library and code that called it here.
(Apologies if this answering of an old question is frowned upon--a large number of searches for various combinations of "scons" "subdirectory" "hierarchical" "build", etc. suggest this page, and I'd like to save others the 8+ hours I just spent trying to get hierarchical builds to work cleanly).
