Re: How to turn off source scanner

From manpage:
SCANNERS

A list of the available implicit dependency scanners. New file scanners may
be added by appending to this list, although the more flexible approach is
to associate scanners with a specific Builder. See the sections "Builder
Objects" and "Scanner Objects," below, for more information.
Create a new environment and empty this variable? Use that environment for
your command?

Does that work?
