[Scons-dev] VariantDir source paths in .sonsign.dblite file

[Rosenthal, Julian]

Hi Bill,

Feel free to switch this conversation over to the scons-users group.

In a nutshell – I need to establish dependency tree information with source paths.
This is for supporting builds shipped to customers where we need to re-establish artifacts that go into building a library – for example, where we may ship partial source and partial *.o files.
The list of files fed into this API need to have “correct” paths – as in paths where they files actually reside.

Thx,
                Julian

Julian,
What are you trying to do with the information?
BTW. This question is likely more appropriate for the scons-users group as the dev group is meant for use discussing the development of SCons itself, and the users mailing list for people building build systems using SCons.
Thanks,
Bill

Hi,

Quick question regarding VariantDir paths for sources (*.c) stored in .sconsign.dblite files.
I'm very happy to see that dependency info can be retrieved this way.
Unfortunately, I have a need for the actual source paths rather than the VariantDir paths information in my case.

Is there an option for sconsign to output this information with actual source paths?
Is there a way to convert this information back to actual source paths (after the fact)?
I can see how I could convert this back knowing what VARIANTDIR is, but even then I have to make some assumptions as to the actual source path. (<PARTIAL SOURCE PATH> versus <SOURCE PATH> in the example below)

Example:
Following information is available in sconsign for an example source file:
<BUILD_ROOT>/<PARTIAL SOURCE PATH>/<VARIANTDIR>/<SOURCE FILE>

I need the info to be the following:
<BUILD_ROOT>/<SOURCE PATH>/<SOURCE FILE>

I need the location of the source file (*.c) before it is copied to VARIANTDIR.

Thx for any pointers.

Sincerely,
        Julian Rosenthal
