[Scons-users] Problem upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.1.2

Me too - haven't used Cygwin for years but this toolchain uses its own version...

Back on topic, is it by design that SCons will silently ignore an exception raised during execution of a callable in this scenario? I normally follow the 'fail quickly and fail loud' approach to this sort of unexpected behaviour...

Yeah... the git-for-windows stuff has proved nicer, and I'm sort of gradually drifting over to msys2 instead as a result - the special /cygdrive/ prefix has always been an irritant for me. Not that I'm not letting the discussion drift off-topic here  :)
