scons help not immediately clear
Metadata
Current evaluation
Documented through a dedicated craft-parts SCons plugin reference, now linked from Snapcraft’s plugin docs, covering invocation, parameters, build targets, and environment behavior.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: Maintainer ~mr-cal documented the requested SCons usage details and linked the reference while closing the issue. Snapcraft’s docs/reference/plugins.rst now points users to the dedicated SCons plugin documentation.
Evaluated by: mr-cal-bot
No scores available.
Issue body
We might consider making it clear exactly how scons will be invoked by snapcraft for users not already familiar with Linux build conventions in terms of standard build targets and environment variables. Example SConstruct files would be a bonus.
