This page will explain all the SCons command line flags. Note that <code>--release --sse --sse2 --no-warnings</code> are all enabled by default. Use <code>--no-sse</code>, <code>--wall</code>, or <code>--debugging</code> to disable these.

Some of these options are also auto-detected. Your platform is detected so <code>--win / --lin / --mac</code> aren't needed unless you are cross compiling. Some cross compilers are also auto-detected on Linux so <code>--tool</code> may not be needed. <code>--64bit</code> and <code>--32bit</code> shouldn't be necessary either.
