https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456006 Summary: scons 1.0.2 incompatible with python 2.6 Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: Other URL: http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2243 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: prusnak@novell.com ReportedBy: dominique.leuenberger@tmf-group.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Community User scons 1.0.2 ( as included in the repositories of 11.1) is incompatible with python 2.6 I ran into this issue while building another package for Factory. it bailed out with errors about not being able to build simplest c++ programs: Checking for a working C++ compiler ... no Can't even compile the simplest C++ program! Your setup is beyond broken. Repair it, then try again. The issue is not, as at first sight obvious, a missing c++ compiler. By digging in some log files: Configure(confdir = build/sconf_temp) build/sconf_temp/conftest_0.cc <- |class c{}; int main(){class c the_class;} g++ -o build/sconf_temp/conftest_0.o -c - D N D E B U G build/sconf_temp/conftest_0.cc g++: D: No such file or directory g++: N: No such file or directory g++: D: No such file or directory g++: E: No such file or directory g++: B: No such file or directory g++: U: No such file or directory g++: G: No such file or directory g++: cannot specify -o with -c or -S with multiple files Special mark are put on the - D N D E B U G which is there with spaces. http://scons.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2243 explains that this has been fixed in a later rerlease of scons in order to be compatible to python 2.6. the existing combination of python and scons is heavily broken in the istribution due to this incompatibility and renders scons close to useless (without an update) (big part of this was not found by me, but by prusnak... credits to the ones that earn it). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
