Message EGust,

This is not a bug. This is by design.

Dirk's reference to the FAQ is a reasonable response.

From the FAQ:

> SCons does not automatically propagate the external environment used to execute 'scons' to the commands used to build target files. This is so that builds will be guaranteed repeatable regardless of the environment variables set at the time scons is invoked. This also means that if the compiler or other commands that you want to use to build your target files are not in standard system locations, SCons will not find them unless you explicitly set the PATH to include those locations


If you'll read the remainder of the FAQ referenced, you'll see a way to propagate the user's environment into your SConstruct.
So SCons doesn't prevent you from doing so, but as explained the quote, by design it doesn't propagate the user's environment to ensure a repeatable build (and not just for the author of the SConstruct/SConscripts)

Hope that helps!

-Bill
