Re: running buildre once and sharing it's output with another variant dir

I'm running the same SConscript for two different modes, release and debug.

they both need a set of generated files which are the same for both modes

I can generate them for both variants but this seems like extra work.

so I want to place them in a generic common path and that the first one will generate them.

maybe I can move the generation to the parent SConscript.

all I need is to make sure that the module's dir will depends on it...

am I making any sense?

Dagg.

A small working example might be helpful.

So are you wanting to use the same SConscript for the second variant dir?

Or is this a different SConscript?

What Export does is it stores a variable with its value (i.e. key/value

pair) in a global (to the SCons process) dictionary so that other things

can grab it needed.

Not sure from your description what it is you want to share - generated

files? Export isn't really a mechanism intended for file contents, but

as long as you don't blow up the dictionary it might work....
