[Scons-dev] SCons + Tup?

[Kenny, Jason L]

That would be the correct file. I had to rewrite this file in Parts myself.. it was easier to just override the whole file, than trying to monkey patch it.

Just looking at the bug report. It looks more like a how the path was provided bug than a Scons bug. It might be easy to fix with a simple "#" added before the name of the file.
There is an open issue in scons that has to be addressed yet, in that Scons should not switch current working paths. Or should do it in a excepted way. Currently SCons will try to change the CWD to the variant directory in question. If it does not exist it used the source directory of the variant path. I had pointed out in some other bug that this causes certain use cases of pattern searching to fail as new files are not found correctly, since the file does not exist in the variant directory area. It looks like this is the root cause of this bug.

That would be a good starting point, probably easier than the one I suggested.

Just in case I can help, I've downloaded the source code from the Bitbucket repository and generated everything with the bootstrap script. Maybe I could start working on a bug to get familiar with the code, then we could talk again about this topic? This bug doesn't seem very hard to fix: http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=816
I guess that Variables/__init__.py is the file that needs modifications, but if someone could give me a hint... :-) _______________________________________________
