[Scons-users] MSbuild scons wrapper

[Bill Deegan]

Likely your issue is here:

        netmodules.extend( env.Command( 'net_' + proj_name, [], pycommand )
)

unless net_+proj_name is the actual name of the library you're generating,
SCons won't know about it.

You shouldn't need depends if you specify the targets and dependencies
correctly.

What does the output of:
scons --tree=prune look like?
Does it show the proper dependencies?

projects I have. These projects have to be built before my C++ programs and
I'm failing to do so via scons.
