Scons command line flags
This page will explain all the SCONS command line flags.
| Name | Description | Example usage |

| OpenGL | Compiles using OpenGL instead of SDL | --opengl |
| Renderer | Saves Renderer | --renderer |
| 64-bit | Compiles a 64-bit (AMD64) version instead of 32-bit (x86) version. | --64bit |
| Static Linking | Reduces external library dependencies | --static |
| Pthreadw32 | Use PTW32_STATIC_LIB for pthreadw32 headers | --pthreadw32-static |
| Python Version | Determines which python version to use with generator.py | --python-ver python2.7 |
| Release | Makes a release build (slows down compiling) | --release |
| Lua Directory | Defines the directory in which the Lua headers are located. | --lua-dir /usr/include/lua5.1/ |

| Tool | Prefix for toolchain executables used for cross compiling. | --tool i586-ming32msvc- |
| SSE | Compiles an SSE-enabled, and thus, non-legacy binary. | --sse |
| SSE2 | Enables SSE2 optimisations. | --sse2 |
| SSE3 | Enables SSE3 optimisations. | --sse3 |
| X86 | Target Intel x86 platform (32-bit). | --x86 |
| No FFT | Do not use fftw3f for gravity. | --nofft |
| No Lua | Disables all Lua scripting features. | --nolua |
| Debugging | Enables Debug Options. | --debugging |
| Beta | Makes a beta build. | --beta |
| Save Version | Defines save version. | --save-version 89 |
| Minor Version | Defines the minor version. | --minor-version 1 |
| Build Number | Defines the build number. | --build-number 281 |
| Snapshot | Makes a snapshot build. | --snapshot |
| Snapshot ID | Defines the snapshot ID. | --snapshot-id 12345 |
| Stable | Makes a stable build. | --stable |
| All at Once | Compiles everything at once, very slow. | --aao |
| Windows | Targets the Windows platform. | --win |
| Linux | Targets the Linux platform | --lin |
| Mac OS X | Targets the Mac OS X platform. | --macosx |
| Raspbian | Targets the Raspbian (OS of Raspberry Pi) platform. | --rpi |
