	Thanks for the information -- I'll check out the DC++ SConstruct later. I have been thinking for some time that our SConstruct is, frankly, a bit untidy. Many worthy persons who are not Python programmers have worked on it, so it works, but there is a lot of duplicate code and different ways of doing things. Also, I have avoided taking it upon myself to clean things up for fear of messing up other people's contributions, plus I don't know anything at all about building on OS X.

SCons contains a built-in "tool detector" which, unfortunately, doesn't only look at paths and environment variables. On Windows, it also (I think) looks at the Windows registry. (I could be wrong about this...) Since I have 3 C++ compilers installed and use them all, this is no good. >> >> At any rate, by passing the tools to SCons programmatically, I defeat the tool auto-detection. >> >> We should look at the SCons source code to figure out a smarter way of doing this. Looking at the code could tell us how to turn a tool "off", which would get rid of cl in the MinGW build or g++ in the msvc build. Or, looking at the code could tell us just how to programatically set up the lex/yacc tools. >> >> Did you try just adding 'default' as a tool?... >> >> Regards, >> >> Mike >> >> -----Original Message----- >> >From: Steven Yi >> >> >Sent: Feb 26, 2008 12:34 PM >> >To: Developer discussions >> >> >> >Subject: Re: [Cs-dev] Broken Build when using Flex/Bison >> > >> >Hi Michael, >> > >> >As Andres noted, adding lex and yacc (which, btw, is what flex and >> >bison are detected as when I remove the hardcoding of the tools for >> >MinGW) does not work.
