[Scons-users] Use Depends on a generated SConscript file, is it possible?

[Bill Deegan]

Simple answer:
You Can't.

Also moving the SConscript call inside your custom builder would also not
work.

The following:
Tells SCons what to do, but that is not done until after all the
SConscripts are processed.

So.. how can you do what you want, but maybe not how you are currently
trying?

Do you really need to generate the SConscript? Or couldn't the SConscript
just perform programmatically at run time whatever your generator does.

Can you explain what the generateSConscriptFromTcml builder is doing?
