Hello,

I have a problem building Csound, I think it is more of a scons
problem and has nothing to do with the Csound source, but I hope some
of you might have a tip to push me in the right direction.

I did build Csound this morning, but now I get errors from scons.
Seemingly it has problems with my user name (containing the Norwegian
letter 'Ø').
Strange, as the only changes i did to the system today was:
- installing the precompiled libsndfile (as I thought it wise to
update my now quite old precompiled libsndfile that I once got from
Michael Gogins if I remember correctly)
- installing the DirectX SDK (so I would be able to compile a new
version of my now quite old precompiled portaudio that I think I got
from Victor a long time ago)

The error is
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position
26: ordinal not in range(128):
... and it seems to originate from
  File "c:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\scons-1.2.0\SCons\Tool\msvc.py", line 195:
    settings_path = settings_path.replace(r'%' + env_var + r'%',
env_vars[env_var])
(full console print below)

To try to remedy the situation, I uninstalled libsndfile and the
DirectX SDK, but still got the same error.

I was able to work around it by editing msvc.py, putting:
                    pass

instead of:
                    #settings_path = settings_path.replace(r'%' +
env_var + r'%', env_vars[env_var])
                    #found_var = 1

Csound now builds.
I am not comfortable with this solution, as it would seem a bad idea
to mess around with editing the scons files.
Anyone have a tip as to what could have gone wrong?

best
Oeyvind

Did you try installing a new version of scons?

I wondered if I should do that, but hestitated to experiment with new
versions when I already had one unexplainable error.
My scons is 1.2.0, what version are you using?
