[Scons-users] absolute/relative paths in CPPPATH

[Dirk Bächle]

Hi David,

instead of fiddling with CPPPATH settings, I'd select a different (and 
more SConsish) approach:

I'd have a top-level SConstruct in "/maindir", which would include the 
two SConscripts in "dir1" and "dir2". This way, all paths would be 
constructed relative to "/maindir" and don't differ anymore...no matter 
which target you select, "dir1/mylib.so" or "dir2/myexe".

Note: It's always a good thing to let SCons see the whole source tree, 
even if you build only a few selected targets from it. It might give you 
a small penalty by requiring more dependency checking, but you get less 
headaches regarding path issues and incremental builds...especially when 
variant dirs are involved.

Just my 2 cents...

Best regards,

Dirk
