[Scons-users] Question about paths and shared libraries with SCons

[Francis Bolduc]

When I started using SCons, I too passed nodes around fron SConscripts
to SConscripts to link with my libraries. I felt that SCons needed
help.

Then I started using VariantDir and everything fell apart. I was
trying to outsmart SCons.

Finally, I realized that SCons was actually perfectly capable of
figuring out dependencies between existing files and files that don't
exist yet without my help.

Nowadays, I simply set the LIBPATH and LIBS variables and let SCons
figure out the rest. I never had any problems since, and my SConscript
files are a lot simpler.
