scons - always install after build

I want scons to always install the built file in several additional directories.

I created the usual install builder with alias a shown in user manual and it installs correctly when I use scons install but I prefer it to run automatically after the target is built and I cannot figure out how to specify the dependencies.

Target = Program(...)
Env.Alias('install', Env.Install(FinalDir, Target))

Should the target depend on install or vice versa or should I use something else?

Solution

  • I went the wrong way of defining install target and trying to figure out how to run it automatically.

    I solved it by aliasing the Install builder to the real file names I wanted to install instead of install.

    Env.Alias('/some/dir/filename', Env.Install('/some/dir', Target))
