[Scons-users] Argument SKIPUTILS is ignored in version 4.8.0

[Anders Sabinsky Tøgern]

Hi,

I am using SCons to compile NSIS in GutLab CI. I have previously used SCons
4.6.0 successfully with the following command:

scons SKIPSTUBS=all SKIPPLUGINS=all SKIPUTILS=all SKIPMISC=all
NSIS_CONFIG_CONST_DATA=no PREFIX=$(pwd)/../nsis install-compiler

Now I have upgraded to SCons 4.8.0 and using the same command as above, I
get the following error:

scons: *** Invalid value(s) for variable 'SKIPUTILS': 'NSIS,Menu'. Valid
values are: Library/RegTool,MakeLangId,Makensisw,NSIS
Menu,SubStart,UIs,VPatch/Source/GenPat,zip2exe,all,none
File "/builds/jst046/pdfcase/nsis_src/SConstruct", line 203, in <module>

The command clearly sets SKIPUTILS=all, but the new version defaults to the
incorrect value NSIS,Menu.

The release notes for SCons 4.7.0 and 4.8.0 do not mention any changes to
this argument, so I suspect that it is a bug.

For now, I have reverted to using version 4.6.0.

Best regards,
Anders S. Tøgern
