[Scons-users] MS Visual Studio Install tries to find a not-existing file

[Matthieu Brucher]

Hi Philip,

The .lib file is not only the name of the static library, for a shared
library it contains everything needed to link against the dll. It is built
only if you export something. If you don't export functions, it means that
you won't be able to link against it, only load it with something like
"LoadLibrary".

Cheers,

Matthieu
