[Scons-users] Interactive Mode on Windows

[mg at ncp-e.com]

Hi,

can you tell me how robust the --interactive mode of SCons is considered
to be?

I've always known the interactive mode to somewhat unstable. But
lately it's nearly completely broken for me on Windows. After two or
three runs (building the same target, edit->run->compile cycles) it
either fails compiling like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
cl /Fosome.obj /c /TP /MTd /GS /W3 /Gm- /D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS /Isome\dir /Ic:\some\other\dir /Z7
cl : Command line error D8003 : missing source filename
------------------------------------------------------------------------

And as we can see the source filename *is* indeed missing.

Or it fails linking like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
lib @c:\users\mg\appdata\local\temp\tmpvoongn.lnk
Microsoft (R) Library Manager Version 14.00.23026.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'c:\users\mg\appdata\local\temp\tmpvoongn.lnk'
scons: *** [C:\Users\mg\build\trunk\2015-64\build\winpc\x86\ncp\source\ncppal\ncppal.lib] Error 1104
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once it reaches this state it doesn't recover. Other targets, however,
can still be successfully built. So the state of some nodes seems to be
messed up.

Any advice on this?

I'd really like the --interactive mode to get working better as it
improves acceptance among my fellow developers that moan about long
initialization times when running SCons.

Regards

Matthias
