[Scons-users] SCons and TravisCI

[Erling D. Andersen]

Hi

We cannot use that auto detection stuff because we want to control exactly
which compiler tool chain we are using.
And we may have different versions of the same toolchain installed.

So we have put our layer on top on Scons that does that i.e. helps on
control exactly which toolchain and version that is being used.
This of course means some manual work where.

I think someone from WmWare also wanted something like that years ago.
