[Scons-users] Getting scons to work on windows

[Mark Brunson]

I installed it with the windows setup.exe file found here
http://www.scons.org/download.php on the right side of the page. I'm
assuming that it installed the Cygwin version, because scons.bat does not
exist on my computer. I installed Cygwin, changed the path entry
to C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.1\Lib\site-packages\scons-2.3.0\SCons, and tried
running scons from the Cygwin terminal, but I get

"-bash: scons: command not found"

When I search through the installed directory, there aren't any .sh files
either.
