Library detection/configuration abilities of SCons need more love, definitely, both in terms of features and exposure. The repository of examples, from which people can copy-paste code for finding SDL, Boost and other stuff would be very welcome. I personally spend A LOT of time to figure out all the gory details to build Wesnoth with MinGW on Windows. Now there is a bootstrap script to set all necessary variables, but it is something that could be done by SConscript: https://bitbucket.org/techtonik/locally/src/tip/05.wesnoth.py?at=default _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
