From 89b5a569fb41e261ce88cc2d2777726f0692ee25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hugo Locurcio Date: Sat, 23 May 2020 02:12:01 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Print a notice when compiling with `target=debug` Debug builds are considerably slower than release builds or even release_debug builds. `target=debug` is still the default SCons target option, so unsuspecting users may be compiling unoptimized debug builds for their personal use. --- SConstruct | 9 +++++++-- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/SConstruct b/SConstruct index f8e3a68edd4..e5646a7d0aa 100644 --- a/SConstruct +++ b/SConstruct @@ -551,11 +551,10 @@ if selected_platform in platform_list: if env["target"] == "release": if env["tools"]: - print("Tools can only be built with targets 'debug' and 'release_debug'.") + print("Error: The editor can only be built with `target=debug` or `target=release_debug`.")
