[Scons-users] QtDir not found

Dirk,

You have a good point.
The first report of an issue shouldn't be to the bug tracker.
The user's mailing list is a great place to let the community know that you are having issues.

Report what you did and what you would expect, and then wait for an answer. One of the developers will come back to you and, after confirming that it's really a bug, ask you to submit an issue report.

Keep in mind that the majority of the core developers live in another time zone...far, far away. The time span of approximately two hours, between your posts for this thread so far, is not enough. My personal experience is that usually a working day or two pass, before people actively chime in. For several more helpful guidelines like this one, you might want to have a short look at "How to ask questions the smart way" ( http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html )...
