As started in https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/pull-request/210/changes-to-allow-building-win32-and-win64
The idea is that many Python tools that are building extensions rely on distutils ability to detect compilers and its poor support for supplying options and other stuff to them. If SCons could factor out the compiler tooling into independent component, that could be reused outside for compiler detection logic and perhaps a little more sugar, that would free Python people from the burden of maintaining the tools of people from C/C++ domain. It might be a good GSoC project and a starting point to attack Parts integration complexity. The entrypoint is to choose a story that will be useful. like this one: https://bitbucket.org/cffi/cffi/issue/109/enable-sane-packaging-for-cffi -- anatoly t. _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
