Re: Issue with Alias, Install and Dependecies

Running `scons --debug=explain` will tell you why SCons is taking each
action. If your main exe depends on libproject-utils.so from /usr/local,
then yes, it will have to build that. Check your LIBPATH or SHLIBPATH, and
examine the final link line for the exe to see what libs it's pulling in
(probably via -L).
