Re: Mixing VariantDirs with "in-tree" build

Hmm, don't know if I understand you correctly, but if A/B/foo is a
regular file (i.e. not a generated file, a build target) everything
works as expected, because scons looks up build/B/foo (which is in fact
not there, because i Use duplicate=0 with the VariantDir) in the
original directory A/B/foo.That is also why the build succeeds, when I
execute the two commands below in reverse order (because I "manually"
build A/B/foo before).
Anyway, I accept the answer that this is intended behavior :)
