[Scons-users] Fwd: Problems with SCons building MongoDB C++ Driver

[Andrew Featherstone]

Hi Andrew M,

I was wondering if you'd managed to track down your issue? It'd be great to
know that things are fixed, or possibly try and give you a few more
suggestions. It's excellent to see such a prominent project using SCons.

Regards,
Andrew
