[Scons-users] StaticLibrary builder

[Kenny, Jason L]

You can add 'default' tool to the tools, but if you are like me and want to reduce what is loaded to what is needed. I define these tools for the gcc toolchain ( which is something I want to get in to SCons with a new Setting (IAPAT) object) in Parts,

environment = Environment(tools=['gcc','g++','ar','gas','gnulink'])

I think that should add what you are missing.

If I do:

	environment = Environment()
	environment.SharedLibrary(…)

then things work. If I do:

	environment = Environment(tools=['g++','gnulink'])
	environment.SharedLibrary(…)

then SCons tells me I am being a silly person, of course SharedLibrary doesn't exist on this tool. Which is counter-intuitive and breaks the Principle of Least Surprise.

From my current perspective, SCons is well broken.
