[Scons-dev] Getting started with the SCons code base~

[William Blevins]

Is there also a guide for running the tests?  Seems there are 3 sets.

If I call "runtest.py -a", the majority of them fail probably because some
are windows tests (and I'm running linux), I don't have TEX installed, etc.
 Is there an easy well to run a subset (IE. all java tests or all core
scons tests)?

V/R,
William
