[Scons-users] Problem that has me scratching my head...

[syost at triad.rr.com]

I do use -k.   Sorry - should have included my command line:

scons -k -j 2 v=3 --debug=prepare --prefix=/home/myaccount/debBuild2  --taskmastertrace=trace.out --tree=prune com/mycompany/so/utility/myprogram debian

This works beautifully if I manually copy the files.  So if I can get this to work I am golden....

PS:   Here is what taskmastertrace said:
