Absolute Path Names

Of course, you can always specify an absolute path name for a file--for example:

       env = Environment()
       env.Program('prog', ['main.c', '/usr/joe/lib/foo1.c', 'foo2.c'])
    

Which, when executed, would yield:

       % scons
       cc -c /usr/joe/lib/foo1.c -o /usr/joe/lib/foo1.o
       cc -c src/prog/foo2.c -o src/prog/foo2.o
       cc -c src/prog/main.c -o src/prog/main.o
       cc -o src/prog/prog prog/main.o /usr/joe/lib/foo1.o prog/foo2.o
    

(As was the case with top-relative path names, notice that the /usr/joe/lib/foo1.o object file is built in the same directory as its source file. See section XXX, below, for information about how to build the object file in a different subdirectory.)
