[Scons-users] Help regarding IOError(stderr.decode("mbcs"))

[Gary Oberbrunner]

OK, try setting the system environment variable SCONS_MSCOMMON_DEBUG=-
(that's a dash as the value) before running SCons; it should spit out a
bunch of stuff.  Whatever the last thing it says it's calling there (should
be a Visual Studio bat file) is probably the thing causing the trouble.
 Looking at the code, it may not be anything to do with multibyte decoding;
it may be the bat file subprocess returning an error.

Also I think you may be running a slightly older SCons, given the line
numbers in your original post.  Make sure you're running 2.3.0 and it still
happens there.
