[Scons-users] Librarian tool

[Kenny, Jason L]

I personally have thought of this myself. I think this currently is viewed as a tool in SCons. I personally thought of having a library directory in Parts as I thought this would help separate stuff better. I have not done this myself. The other point of view here might be that this is a what the configure stuff should do, as this is a common way it is used in a classic makefile way.

I personally like the idea of being able to apply to the environment a tool and or library and have it configured correctly.

I'm just checking my facts here really, but this does seem a bit whacky:

At first sight it appears that the writer of a SConscript/SConstruct has to manually decide whether to use the mslib tool or the ar tool if not using the default toolset.

There are generic compiler/linker tools that try to deduce/infer the correct compiler and linker, so why isn't there a librarian tool that does equivalent inference for librarians?

Or am I missing something so obvious I am not looking for it?
