[Scons-users] Problem with Repository build

[Dirk Bächle]

Martin,

I checked the log files a bit, thanks for providing them. To me it looks 
as if the file "MilleData.os" doesn't have any children assigned, when 
compiling/building the full package.
This seems to be a problem elsewhere, possibly throwing an exception 
during startup...leading to uninitialized nodes in the internal tree 
representation.

Here's what you can do to track this further down:

- Check all your custom Scanners and Emitters (if you have any) and 
ensure that they test for the existence of the current File Node, before 
trying to open it and reading its contents.
- Try trimming down CPPPATH to a minimum set for compiling the 
"MilleData" package only, and see if this makes the error go away too. 
If yes, it would imply that the problem is related to scanning in a way.
- Finally, run the build until the first exception happens. For this, 
you can comment out the setup/teardown of the sig_handler() and remove 
the try/finally block in src/engine/SCons/Job.py, such that the run() 
method looks like:

   def run(self, postfunc=lambda: None):
     self.job.start()
     postfunc()

If all of this fails, we'd have to discuss how I could get at the source 
code. ;)

Best regards,

Dirk
