[Scons-users] SCons uses wrong Visual Studio assembler for 64 bit

[mg at ncp-e.com]

Hi,

I'm building assembler sources using SCons on Windows with Visual
Studio for 64-bit target binaries.

This fails by default, because SCons tries to use "ml.exe" which is only
found in the 32-bit Visual Studio environment. For 64-bit the "ml64.exe"
is used. However in Tool/masm.py I found that 'AS' is set
unconditionally:

env['AS'] = 'ml'

The statement

env['AS'] = "ml64"

in my SConstruct fixes the problem for me.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

Matthias
