Require.js optimizer is only minifying main.js and ignoring 'paths'

main.js:

require.config({
  baseUrl: 'js/',

  paths: {
    'd3': 'lib/d3',
    'text': 'lib/text',
    'jquery': 'lib/jquery',
    'topojson': 'lib/topojson',
    'statecodes': 'lib/statecodes',
    'underscore': 'lib/underscore'
  },

  shim: {
    'lib/bootstrap': {
      deps: ['jquery']
    },
    'lib/backbone': {
      deps: ['jquery', 'underscore'],
      exports: 'Backbone'
    },
    'lib/wreqr': {
      deps: ['lib/backbone']
    },
    'lib/marionette': {
      deps: ['lib/wreqr'],
      exports: 'Marionette'
    }
  }
});

var deps = [
  'app',
  'utils/dataserver',
  'd3',
  'text',
  'jquery',
  'topojson',
  'statecodes',
  'underscore',
  'lib/bootstrap',
  'lib/backbone',
  'lib/marionette'
];

require(deps, function(app, ds) {
  app.start();
  ds.fetchall();
});

The config file app.build.js:

({
  baseUrl: "../js",
  name: 'main',
  mainConfigFile: '../js/main.js',
  out: "../js/build.js"
})

By running r.js -o app.build.js I was expecting the optimizer to minify and concatenate the scripts inside path. But all it does is minify main.js. What am I missing?

Output of r.js -o app.build.js:

Tracing dependencies for: main
Uglifying file: /Project/web/js/build.js

/Project/web/js/build.js
----------------
/Project/web/js/main.js

You must pass the literal array of dependencies, not the variable deps, as the first argument to require. Otherwise, the optimizer doesn't know what files to include.

r.js will only trace through all the dependencies that it finds are needed for your application. You need to include the entry point require([], function() {}); inside main.js, or basically the beginning require block that should be included in the script specified in data-main when using RequireJS regularly.
