| 1. After downloading and installing scons, you will have in your
Python24 directory, a subdirectory called scons-0.96.1\script with
a scons script and a scons.bat batch file.
2. Move the scon script to the top-level Python24 directory and make sure
that one is in your Windows path variable (set this by right clicking on
my computer, selecting 'properties' and then in the 'advanced' tab click
on environment variables, 'PATH' is one of the system variables)
3. With that you can just run 'scons' from the MSYS shell.
4. You might want to set paths to headers/libraries etc in the custom.py
file, to reflect your system
If you have the dependencies (libsndfile etc), you can go ahead a build
csound 5 just like you do in Linux.
I hope this helps.
