[Scons-users] Variant directory

[Russell, J.J.]

I am puzzled by how to properly use 'src_dir'  in  SConscript 

If, in the SConstruct file I specify 

      SConscript ('pkg/SConscript', variant_dir='pkg/build', src_dir='pkg/src', duplicate=0)

     where pkg/src contains foo.c

I get Program ('foo.c') successfully built.

However, if I remove the 'pkg' from the variant_dir, i.e.

      SConscript ('pkg/SConscript', variant_dir='build', src_dir='pkg/src', duplicate=0)

The files in 'src/' no longer can be found  unless I prepend them with 'src/', i.e.  src/foo.c

Any help on the rules of the game with src_dir would be greatly appreciated.  

(I have really tried to figure this one out, but after 2 days, I am throwing in the towel.)
