[Scons-users] Adding dependency on installed libs

[Pawel Winogrodzki]

Hi all,

Does anyone know, if scons supports such scenarios correctly:

  1.  We're running a multi-thread build.
  2.  We build a static library X and Install() it to a different directory.
  3.  We also build a dynamic library Y, which depends on the library X BUT in the LIBPATH we provide the installation directory, not the original build directory.

In most cases everything works fine, but from time to time lib Y fails to link lib X. The error message shows the whole path to the library X in the install directory and I was always able to see in the output, that before linking started the installation has been performed. Also, it only fails this way on Windows from my observations and it's a lot easier to reproduce if you set -j to a number higher than the actual number of logical CPUs (with twice as much we had a 100% repro).

My question is: does scons correctly recognizes dependencies on installed libraries? Might this be some multi-threading issue with scons? Is there a known workaround for this issue (except for adding the original build directory to the LIBPATH)?

Thanks,
Pawel
