error with gettext (translate) on some systems
by Kraus Philipp June 7, 2013

June 7, 2013

Hello, I'm using the translate builder for creating translation file. On some systems it works fine, but on other (my Linux) the env = Environment( variables=vars, tools = ["default", "gettext"], BUILDERS = { ... } ) creates an error: EnvironmentError No tool named 'gettext' not a Zip file On my OSX gettext / msginit is found and works, on my Linux the error is shown, but gettext and its tools are installed. How can I solve the problem, so the gettext files are found or can I check if the tools exists and modify the env = Environment call, so that no error is occurs Phil

linker command under windows not working (too long)
by Philipp Kraus April 6, 2013

April 6, 2013

Hello, I try to build Irrlicht engine with mingw toolset under Scons. The compiler calls works well, but the last linker command to build the shared library creates the error, that the command length is reached. MS describe the probleme here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473/en-us The command shows: g++ -shared -o Irrlicht.dll <here all *.o files> -Wl,--out-implib,libIrrlicht.a I don't know how I can solve this problems. The problem exists only with the MinGW toolset under MSVC the problem does not exists. Thanks for help Phil

Scons using config.h.in
by Zachary Lund April 4, 2013

April 4, 2013

I cannot seem to be able to find a reasonable method of using an "outside" config. In autoconf, it's popular to have a "config.h.in" or similar to import static source. Autoconf automatically expects a .in file while scons doesn't seem to want to allow anything of the sort with ease. Any chance I'm missing something? If not, would such a feature be allowed in Scons?

max-drift vs. Decider
by Alexander Tsvetkov April 3, 2013

April 3, 2013

Dear Scons! I'm (unsuccessfully) trying to understand the subtle relationship between max-drift parameter, MD5 decider and MD5-timestamp decider. To be specific, how comes that after setting max-drift=0, changing the file does not cause recompiling? Thank you!

by Philipp Kraus April 2, 2013

April 2, 2013

Hello, I use MinGW GCC compiler but not under the MSYS Shell ( http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/ ). If I install Scons and run it from the command line, can the Environmental object found the Gcc compilers & linkers automatically? Thanks Phil

The SCons Wiki is back
by Gary Oberbrunner March 31, 2013

March 31, 2013

The wiki should be pretty much restored at this point. We reinstalled MoinMoin from scratch, latest version with security patches, and manually copied over all the known-good pages and users, config files and macros. I might have missed a few pages; if you see any pages you think used to exist that don't anymore, let me know -- we have a backup we can work from. All user passwords have been invalidated; you will have to use the password reset mechanism to create yourself a new one. (They are now stored with much stronger crypto.) We can't say for sure whether the existing password database was compromised, but to be safe you should make sure to change your password on other sites if you used the same password there. If you were using OpenID to log in, those credentials are stored elsewhere and are not compromised (and there's no need to change them I think). -- Gary

osx framework creation
by Philipp Kraus March 29, 2013

March 29, 2013

Hello, I need an idea to create a OSX Framework with Scons (see https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BP… ) A OSX Framework is a special directory structure. I build with Scons a shared library and need to copy the header files in the directory structure. My first idea is to create a builder, that copy the data and creates the symlinks. Is this a good choice with a builder? Thanks Phil

msvc and "could not detect xgettext"
by Philipp Kraus March 25, 2013

March 25, 2013

Hello, I have installed Scons 2.2.0 under Windows. I create the Environment object with Environment() and Environment(tools=[]) and I would use the MSVC_VERSION item of the env object. On tools=[] thsi flag isn't exists, but if I remove the tools option I get "could not detect xgettext", also if I run env.Tool("default"). Can I use the Environment() call, so that my env object get the default settings without throwing the xgettext error? Gettext is a unix tool, why tries scons to detect it on windows, because why throws Scons this exception and eg not "javac not found" (if javac is not installed) ? Thanks Phil
