#
# SCons top-level build description (SConstruct) file.
#
# While in this directory ('gem5'), just type 'scons' to build the default
# configuration (see below), or type 'scons build/<CONFIG>/<binary>'
# to build some other configuration (e.g., 'build/ALPHA/gem5.opt' for
# the optimized full-system version).
#
# You can build gem5 in a different directory as long as there is a
# 'build/<CONFIG>' somewhere along the target path.  The build system
# expects that all configs under the same build directory are being
# built for the same host system.
#
# Examples:
#
#   The following two commands are equivalent.  The '-u' option tells
#   scons to search up the directory tree for this SConstruct file.
#   % cd <path-to-src>/gem5 ; scons build/ALPHA/gem5.debug
#   % cd <path-to-src>/gem5/build/ALPHA; scons -u gem5.debug
#
#   The following two commands are equivalent and demonstrate building
#   in a directory outside of the source tree.  The '-C' option tells
#   scons to chdir to the specified directory to find this SConstruct
#   file.
#   % cd <path-to-src>/gem5 ; scons /local/foo/build/ALPHA/gem5.debug
#   % cd /local/foo/build/ALPHA; scons -C <path-to-src>/gem5 gem5.debug
#
# You can use 'scons -H' to print scons options.  If you're in this
# 'gem5' directory (or use -u or -C to tell scons where to find this
# file), you can use 'scons -h' to print all the gem5-specific build
# options as well.
