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

[Philipp Kraus]

Hi Matthieu,

thanks for your answer, but I don't understand the answer.
I call scons in the Visual Studio CommandLine and build a shared 
library with env.SharedLibrary
The result of this call is passed to env.Install and if the scons 
script runs, the error is shown after building.

I found in my build directory the *.dll file, so I think the 
env.SharedLibrary builder works. But the "copy-process"
breaks with the error, because the env.Install call try to copy two 
files *.dll and *.lib, but the *.lib file does not
exist. My problem is, to install / copy the builded library into my 
installation directory.
