## 14.4. 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 -Q
    cc -o src/prog/foo2.o -c src/prog/foo2.c
    cc -o src/prog/main.o -c src/prog/main.c
    cc -o /usr/joe/lib/foo1.o -c /usr/joe/lib/foo1.c
    cc -o src/prog/prog src/prog/main.o /usr/joe/lib/foo1.o src/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 Chapter 15, Separating Source and Build Trees: Variant Directories, below, for information about how to build the object file in a different subdirectory.)
