This does not work for me:

My SConstruct.py contains this:

print "Dir('#').srcnode().abspath :", Dir('#').srcnode().abspath
print "Dir('.').srcnode().abspath :", Dir('.').srcnode().abspath

# From: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9806573/does-scons-know-in-which-directory-a-sconscript-file-resides
import os
this_sconscript_file = (lambda x:x).func_code.co_filename
BUILDDIR = os.path.dirname(this_sconscript_file)
print "BUILDDIR:", BUILDDIR

Here is what I ge when I run it:

hpj at Lodam-HPJT430s ~
$ pwd
/home/hpj

hpj at Lodam-HPJT430s ~
$ scons -f /cygdrive/c/Project/hpj_main_LFC/ControlMicro/Product/LFC100/Build/SConstruct.py
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Dir('#').srcnode().abspath : /home/hpj
Dir('.').srcnode().abspath : /home/hpj
BUILDDIR: /cygdrive/c/Project/hpj_main_LFC/ControlMicro/Product/LFC100/Build

I am running scons under Cygwin. The version is 2.3.0.

hpj at Lodam-HPJT430s ~
$ scons --version
