[Scons-users] Handle updated external dependency files

[Bill Deegan]

Hi Brian,

(Thanks for bringing your query to the users mailing list).

What input effects the contents of the external dependency files?
Is this input unchanged by the build itself?

Can you mention what software you are using to create the dependency files?

The best way to get a solution is likely not to say "Hey I want to do it
this way, how do I make that work", but instead say " I need to run these
tools with these inputs which makes this happen, how do I do that in SCons"

-Bill
