Hi Bigjj,
welcome to the Cafu forums!

My problem is, that it is not possible to install scons 1.3.0 on my Python 2.6.5.

Well, why?

Or is there a solution for my install problem?

I'm confident there is, but you have to provide more details - the most important of which is why you cannot install scons after you installed python.

Hi,

I tried to install manualy, but cmd.exe cant find Python.

• C:\Downloads\Software\scons-1.3.0>python setup.py install
  Der Befehl "python" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
  konnte nicht gefunden werden.

The exe installer did't work,too.

I tried to install it with python but nothing happened.

I googled for a solution but I didn't find one.
I dont know why I cant install scons.

Thanks,
Bigjj

HI

I installed Scons!!!!
(Installed it before, but I used Python (command line) to execute "scons -v".

But now there is a new Problem:
I cant compile cafu.

I used cmd.exe.

Hi Bigjj,

can you please try the brand new 1.3.0.d20100404 release of SCons from http://www.scons.org/download.php ?
This should fix the problem. Sorry for the trouble, and please let us know if it works!

Dear Bigjj,

I think you've found a bug in SCons, and I've posted an appropriate message at the SCons mailing list, see http://scons.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage. ... Id=2498308 for details.
The SCons devs are very nice and they spend a lot of effort with making SCons work better with the Visual Studio compilers, so I'm positive that they'll reply soon.


In the meanwhile, as you're using r39 from the zip file (a new version will be uploaded soon), could you please insert

Code: Select all

 envCommon.Tool('mssdk')

in file SConstruct in line 111 after

Code: Select all

        # Begin with an environment with settings that are common for debug, release and profile builds.
        envCommon=Environment(
            CCFLAGS = Split("/nologo /GR /EHsc"),   # CCFLAGS is also taken as the default value for CXXFLAGS.
            CPPDEFINES = ["_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE", "_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE"],
            LINKFLAGS = Split("/nologo /incremental:no"))

That is, insert the above statement so that the complete section of code looks like this:

Code: Select all

        # Begin with an environment with settings that are common for debug, release and profile builds.
        envCommon=Environment(
            CCFLAGS = Split("/nologo /GR /EHsc"),   # CCFLAGS is also taken as the default value for CXXFLAGS.
            CPPDEFINES = ["_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE", "_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE"],
            LINKFLAGS = Split("/nologo /incremental:no"))

        envCommon.Tool('mssdk')

(You don't have to do that if you get the latest revision from the SVN repository instead.)

Many thanks for your patience! I'll keep you informed as soon as there is a reply at the SCons mailing list.

Hi,

Now cmd.exe told me :

• C:\Cafu-src-r39>C:\Python26\scons -q
  scons: Reading SConscript files ...
  File "C:\Cafu-src-r39\SConstruct", line 111
  
  envCommon.Tool('mssdk')
  
  ^
  
  IndentationError: unexpected indent

Thanks for all,
Bigjj

[Carsten]

envCommon.Tool('mssdk')
IndentationError: unexpected indent

Sorry. Please make sure that the newly inserted line has as many leading spaces as the envCommon=Environment(... line that is preceding it, just as shown in the example above.

Also, here is how you can fix the first problem:
Open your file C:\Python26\scons-1.3.0.d20100404\SCons\Tool\MSCommon\vc.py and replace line 143

Code: Select all

t = msvc_version_numeric.split(".")

with

Code: Select all

t = msvc_ver_numeric.split(".")

Save and re-run SCons, it should work now!

[bigjj13]

Hi,

didn't work again.

SConstruct:

Code: Select all

# Identical to the compiler switches for Visual C++ 2005, see there for more details.

        # Begin with an environment with settings that are common for debug, release and profile builds.
        envCommon=Environment(
            CCFLAGS = Split("/nologo /GR /EHsc"),   # CCFLAGS is also taken as the default value for CXXFLAGS.
            CPPDEFINES = ["_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE", "_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE"],
            LINKFLAGS = Split("/nologo /incremental:no"))

		envCommon.Tool('mssdk')

        # Environment for debug builds:
        envDebug=envCommon.Clone();
        envDebug.Append(CCFLAGS=Split("/MTd /Od /Z7 /RTC1"));
        envDebug.Append(LINKFLAGS=["/debug"]);

Hi Bigjj,

ok, no problem, just download the complete and correct file from http://trac.cafu.de/export/47/cafu/trunk/SConstruct and copy it over yours.

(Alternatively, you can see the file and how it should look like at http://trac.cafu.de/browser/cafu/trunk/SConstruct.)

Hi

new error,

  Thanks

[Carsten]

new error,

Hmmm - I'm surprised, but we're getting closer!

Please do the following:
Before you run scons at the command line, set SCONS_MSCOMMON_DEBUG to - (hyphen, Minuszeichen), that is, enter

Code: Select all

set SCONS_MSCOMMON_DEBUG=-

before you run scons. It will output what it is doing at startup (if you replace the "-" by an arbitrary file name, the output will be written into the file instead). Then please post that output here as well.

Der Befehl "nmake" ist entweder falsch geschrieben oder
konnte nicht gefunden werden.

This is somewhat unusual, but the above output should indicate the reason for it.

Sorry for all the trouble, normally the compiling of Cafu is a very simple process. I'm very grateful for your feedback though - as these errors don't occur on my own machine, your feedback helps fixing them for others as well.

Hi,

Please do the following:

How do I do that?

Thanks,

[Carsten]

Well, you enter it like any other command that you type at the command prompt.
Here is an example from my computer, where I first type dir SCons*, then set SCONS_MSCOMMON_DEBUG=- (the command referred to above), then scons -Q (followed by the beginning of the debug output that it now generates):
