[Scons-users] Use target srcnode path for cache signature

[Mikael Arvids]

Hi Dirk,

We are using variant dirs to separate the builds of different versions of our product. The different versions will consist of the same modules, and only some of them will differ, based on configuration. So a lot of the target files will be the same for some, or all variants. Sharing cached objects between the variants would allow us to avoid handling this sharing manually in the sconscripts (using shared environments).  

Best regards,
Mikael

I'm wondering how you want to "share" targets, maybe you can give some more information about this? Usually I would use variant
directories to create a different (set of) executable(s). So the targets, like programs and libraries, would differ by design...and
therefore cannot be shared.

This leaves me a bit puzzled at the moment...

Best regards,

Dirk
