[Scons-users] SCons and TravisCI

[Schleimer, Ben]

Hi Russel,
   It does kinda suck that the authors of the tool didn't anticipate every possible use-case and location of various compilers and tools in the various supported platforms...
Maybe the fact that Scons works so well in most cases causes people to expect it to be able to handle every situation. Hence the decline of western civilization....

I gave in, hacked the SConstruct to know about environment variables
directly and it seems to do the trick. Pity though that Travis-CI is
using Ubuntu Precise (or Trusty if you are lucky) when the absolutely
earliest version that is sane for my project is Vivid. There is no
point in using the Debian Sid option as that is the development
platform. Ho hummm…
