Okay, I changed to using this method, but I should mention that the scons
user guide still promotes this old method (
http://www.scons.org/doc/HTML/scons-user/x3641.html). However, now this
custom builder got copied I got stuck on almost exactly the same error, but
now with the non-custom 'StaticLibrary': AttributeError: 'SConsEnvironment'
object has no attribute 'StaticLibrary'

I actually started out with this (or rather the version on the scons wiki,
didn't know of the repo), but created my own builder along the way, which
is now almost completely different. I'll see if I can feed back some
changes now I know of the repository, thanks for the link.

the help already,
