[Scons-dev] This morning's WTF moment

[Russel Winder]

OK so I am abandoning all my scruples and trying to get SCons running on
my wife's Windows 7 machine so as to run some tests on Linux, OSX *and*
Windows.

I have now discovered that on a 64-bit laptop running Windows 7:

        Environment()['PLATFORM']

return win32. One assumes there is some existentialist humour present in
this result?

Also at every turn I am told:

scons: warning: No version of Visual Studio compiler found – C/C++
compilers most likely not set correctly
File … engine\SCons\Script\Main.py", line 602, in
_scons_internal_warning

Yes I know this, I haven't installed any C or C++ compilers on this
machine, I don't need to be told at every turn. However not only does
SCons insists on telling me this, it tells me twice, at Reading
SConscript files phase *AND* Building targets phase.
