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

[Brian Dentino]

Hi,

I'm having an impossible time trying to build the c++ driver for mongodb,
which uses the SCons build system. Based on the fact that I can't even get
through the SCons configuration stage, I think the issue might be with my
SCons installation. When using the SCons Configuration module to check the
'C' compiler, it complains that it can't find the .c file it's trying to
compile, but I have verified that this file does indeed exist. In fact, if
I copy and paste the failing 'cl' call from the config log file to the
command line and run it finishes just fine.

I've successfully running a 'minimal' SCons build that simply does the
configuration checks on the C/C++ compiler and that works perfectly fine.

I'm trying to debug this but I have absolutely no experience with SCons.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Has anyone run into this issue
before? Any idea what might be causing it?

-Brian
