Idiom for creating similar build targets (one option changes)

Question

I want one release version and a debug version of the same files.

Right now I have written a python function that creates the two versions. Is there a more idiomatic way, maybe directly supported by waf?

Yes, waf use "variants" to manage such things. See §7.2.2 of the waf book

Are you aware of any way to do to modify already created TaskGen objects? In my project, the easiert way would be to add/ remove items to the use-option, which isn't possible in the configuration stage I think. – Inkrementator Nov 10 '22 at 19:47

@Inkrementator : You're right. The configuration stage is here to manage environments. You can have different env for different variants. In the build stage, you can have a different command for each variant. Then you can change some things during build stage. – neuro Nov 16 '22 at 17:21
