[Scons-users] Scons script stopped working - error: The system cannot find the path specified.

[Bill Deegan]

Zarko,

Do you have any custom SCons tools defined?
Can you try this as follows:

Create a SConstruct with only the following in it
---------------
DefaultEnvironment(tools=[])


Then fun your scons --version in the directory where that file is located.
