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

[Matthieu Brucher]

Hi,

That's because the build process should return 2 files, the dll and the lib
file. The first is the one you deploy, but the second is the one that is
needed to link an application. Linux doesn't define something like that, I
suggest you read the MSDN chapter on shared libraries and exported
functions/classes/methods/...
