[Scons-users] Chaining generated sources.

[William Blevins]

Unfortunately, I cannot post the code without going through a lot of hoops.

The Protoc builder creates the correct source and target lists.

The issue is that the targets have not yet been created when the Java
builder attempts to *"scan" *the Protoc targets because they haven't been
created yet.  Unless there is some way to make the Protoc targets
dependencies of the SCons/Tools/javac.py::Emitter (so they build
automatically when the emitter runs), then I am forced to manually Execute
the Protoc.Action (which I cannot get to work right) or I'll have to scrap
the idea entirely because either:

1) the SCons/Tools/javac.py::Emitter throws an IOError because the sources
don't yet exist to be scanned
2) the SCons/Tools/javac.py::Emitter generates the wrong target list
because it must skip the source list scanning process

It's a chicken and egg problem.  Everything gets scanned prior to the
"build step" some the derived sources aren't available to be scanned.  I
either need to make them forcefully built at SConscript call time or I'll
have to manually generate the derived sources and remove the protoc builder
so that the Java class list gets created correctly.

V/R,
Will
