[Scons-users] Can't install to a parent directory

[Wallet, Brad C.]

I'm trying to do a build and install the target to a parent directory, but nothing I do seems to work.

The following creates my target in the current directory:

env = Environment(CPPPATH=".;../../../include/fox", CPPDEFINES=['f2cFortran'], CCFLAGS=buildFlags, TOOLS=['default'])

target = env.StaticLibrary(target="somelib", source=["source1.cpp",  "source2.cpp"])

The following creates it in a directory bin:

env = Environment(CPPPATH=".;../../../include/fox", CPPDEFINES=['f2cFortran'], CCFLAGS=buildFlags, TOOLS=['default'])

target = env.StaticLibrary(target="bin/somelib", source=["source1.cpp",  "source2.cpp"])

But, the follow creates obj files but no target:

env = Environment(CPPPATH=".;../../../include/fox", CPPDEFINES=['f2cFortran'], CCFLAGS=buildFlags, TOOLS=['default'])

target = env.StaticLibrary(target="../somelib", source=["source1.cpp",  "source2.cpp"])

And even this creates no target:

env = Environment(CPPPATH=".;../../../include/fox", CPPDEFINES=['f2cFortran'], CCFLAGS=buildFlags, TOOLS=['default'])

target = env.StaticLibrary(target="somelib", source=["source1.cpp",  "source2.cpp"])

env.Install("..", target)

This is on a Windows system.

Can someone tell me what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Brad
