[Scons-users] Missing dependencies

[Spencer Yost]

You had suggested the following, and it worked.   The only difference was subtracting the extension(shared1 instead of shared1.so).   Note:  I did not use version 3.X against my problem:

===========
Spencer,

Try this:
MYLIBS = ['shared1', 'shared2']
MYLIBPATH = 'variantDir/usr/lib'
executable=Program(hello.c,LIBS=[MYLIBS], LIBPATH=[MYLIBPATH])

Your surprise that this doesn't work leads me to believe that my fear was correct:   I am stuck having to read all 1700+ SConscript files in my library packages (over 2000 counting executables, automated unit tests, etc) when I start the building the executable.   I can't deal with the huge delay reading that many SConscript files just in case I need to build to build one shared library in the course of building just one executable.
