scripting is a dmake module with no symbols package is a gbuild module with symbols So yes, as we move off dmake, more and more modules should have working debug symbols. This is the case on *nix too, where dmake doesn't provide full paths to filenames, breaking debugging. On Sat, Jul 4, 2020

Hi In the scons-build branch, I've just pushed a set of 11 commits that theoretically get 93 out of 105 gbuild modules (88.57%) automatically converting to gbuild. The "gotoSCons" converter and the SCons infrastructure in that branch have now been developed to such a level that a module can be
