[Scons-users] Disambiguating Entry in variant directory

[Ilya L]

Sorry, I used the *over*simplified example, that bumps into a different
issue due to variant directory being under source directory. The
following one is closer to reality:

$ cat sconstruct
VariantDir('#build', '#source')
Dir('#source/foo')
Dir('#build').glob('*')

$ scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
scons: *** [build/foo] TypeError : Tried to lookup Dir 'source/foo' as a
File.
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Best regards,
Ilya
