[Scons-users] Getting scons to work on windows

[Philipp Kraus]

Hi 

I used SCons on Windows with Cygwin and MSVC , but I use two 
installations. On Cygwin I have installed Cygwins python and installed 
on a directory eg /cygwin/c/opt/cygwin/scons SCons from tha tar.gz file 
(call setup.py with --prefix).
After that I set the PATH variable to the Cygwin SCons installation directory.
On Windows MSVC, I installed "Windows Python" and SCons from the MSI package. 

This does not create any problems in both systems and works well

Phil
