[Scons-users] scons 3.0.1: 'ascii' codec can't decode

[Bill Deegan]

I'm not seeing the failure when I run on my mac:

$ venv/bin/scons -f SConstruct_Broken run
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...
g++ -o main.o -c main.cpp
g++ -o main.exe main.o
/Users/bdbaddog/devel/scons/bugs/ascii_codec_cant/main.exe
Hello, world!
scons: done building targets.

$ cat SConstruct_Broken
import os
env = Environment(tools = ["mingw"], ENV=os.environ)
prog = env.Program("main", ["main.cpp"])
run = env.Alias("run", prog, prog[0].abspath)
AlwaysBuild(run)


$ venv/bin/scons --version
