[Scons-users] '$(' and '$)' in command strings of custom builder

[Russell, J.J.]

I have a custom builder that generates .os files much like SharedObject does. (It really is SharedObject with some extra dressing needed in a cross-development environment for a specific type of source file. SharedObject is also used for its usual purpose, so needed another version of it.) 

 I specify the action in the builder as

  action         =  SCons.Action.Action ('$XXCCCOM', '$XXCCCOMSTR'),

where XXCCCOMSTR is left undefined.   The echo command string includes the '$(' and '$)'  that typically surround the include files. For other builders these are typically stripped.  What am I doing wrong?
