The Container level SConstruct file can be viewed. In the lower left panel, the subdirectories of the checkout package, or the selected subpackage are available for viewing.
The executables may be started from the top level exe directory or from the bin directory which includes a variant subdirectory. That subdirectory contains all the wrapper scripts that setup the environment for running and application. These wrapper scripts are generated by the builds, via an SCons-add-on from Navid called generate-script. Unfortunately there is a problem with the scripts on Windows, that needs to be worked out. There is also a script that only sets up the environment but doesn't run any applications called _setup.py So if one is interested in merely setting up their environment for python, for example, one could use this _setup.py script.
It is possible to run in gdb.
For the builds, the initialization step is long..about 20 seconds on linux.. longer on windows.
