[Scons-users] Copying and merging directories

[William Deegan]

Peter,

Try: 
scons --tree=prune

This will show you the dependencies that SCons "knows" about.
Specifically look at the install tree your construction.

You could put the following in to debug what your glob is returning you.

nodes=Glob(C_FROM_DIR+'/fw')
for n in nodes:
	print "NODE:%s"%str(n)
You might want to use env.Glob() instead of plain Glob.

Is it safe to assume that TOT doesn't point to a subdirectory of the directory where you run SCons and/or SConstruct resides?
