With scons, how do you link to prebuilt libraries?

Question

I recently started using scons to build several small cross-platform projects. One of these projects needs to link against pre-built static libraries... how is this done?

In make, I'd just append "link /LIBPATH:wherever libstxxl.lib" on windows, and "stxxl.a" on unix.

Just to document the answer, as I already located it myself.

Program( 'foo', ['foo.cpp'], LIBS=['foo'], LIBPATH='.' )

Adding the LIBS & LIBPATH parameters add the correct arguments to the build command line.
