scons install with msys2

[pierrextardif]

Hi,

I'm trying to run the install with msys2 64 bits, using scons .

When running the install, the version of the python scripts are incompatible with scons python.
From my install I have:
-in msys2 64 bits -

scons --version
SCons by Steven Knight et al.:
        script: v3.1.2.bee7caf9defd6e108fc2998a2520ddb36a967691, 2019-12-17 02:07:09, by bdeegan on octodog
        engine: v3.1.2.bee7caf9defd6e108fc2998a2520ddb36a967691, 2019-12-17 02:07:09, by bdeegan on octodog
        engine path: ['/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/SCons']

Then when checking for version of python which scons uses I get: nano /usr/bin/scons and line1 : #!/usr/bin/python .
I have tried to symlink to my python2 install:
(powershell)

cmd /c 'mklink C:\dev\msys64\usr\bin\python2.exe C:\dev\msys64\mingw64\bin\python2.exe'
symbolic link created for C:\dev\msys64\usr\bin\python2.exe <<===>> C:\dev\msys64\mingw64\bin\python2.exe

In msys2: /usr/bin/python2.exe starts python2 that's fine, but changing the first line of scons to #!/usr/bin/python2.exe , or to python2 - with respect to changing the symlink - doesn't work.
The problem seem to come from the fact that the rest of the scons install depends on the directories near the python install - if i get it correctly -.

Can you provide an install for a python vesion > 3.0?

Best,

I checked and it works with python 3 on macOS. As a matter of fact, the .python-version file points to 3.8.1. So I'm not sure what the problem is with your configuration. You should use python3 not 2. Have you tried using pyenv?

Could you try the neptune-3 branch please and see if that works better for you?

Hi,

When running scons with the right arguments, it seems like it's not processing the target :

From my install I have those folder :

So i have tried to change the list of Platform to Target Map:

PLATFORM_TO_TARGET_MAP = {
    'linux-i386'  : 'x86-unknown-linux',
    'linux-x86_64': 'x86_64-unknown-linux',
    'linux-arm'   : 'arm-unknown-linux',
    'linux2'      : 'x86-unknown-linux',
    'msys'        : 'x86-microsoft-win32-vs2010',
    'win32'       : 'x86-microsoft-win32',
    'cygwin'      : 'x86-unknown-cygwin',
    'darwin'      : 'universal-apple-macosx'
}

because my default platform_id is : msys , but it seems like it's not willing to list the new entry / want to run it.
Seems like the cause of that comes from the folder x86-microsoft-win32-vs2010 not having a Config.scons file?

scons target=x86-microsoft-win32-vs2010

and I'm getting this output:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...

scons: *** Invalid value for option target: x86-microsoft-win32-vs2010.  Valid values are: ['arm-android-linux', 'arm-gp2x-linux', 'arm-unknown-linux', 'universal-apple-macosx', 'x86-unknown-cygwin', 'x86-unknown-linux', 'x86_64-unknown-linux']
File "/Platinium_Test/Platinum/Build/Boot.scons", line 64, in <module>

Should I be using VSCode to run the solution?
