I was looking at one of our test in the appveyor CI and I noticed it was failing due to the 'cl' executable not being found: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/SCons/scons/build/3.0.1.205/job/yp0pg368ga5i033b#L141 This is a case where Visual Studio has been installed, but the C++ build tools have not. SCons detects the Visual Studio installation and assumes the C++ build tools will be there. Usually Visual Studio installs the c++ compiler by default so this is generally not an issue, however for Visual Studio 2015, the c++ compiler was not installed by default and when developing on systems where I was using Visual Studio 2015 install, I ran into this issue myself a few times. I would then need to go install the C++ compiler for that version to fix it. Is this a bug? Should SCons detect if the C++ compiler is installed along with a Visual Studio version, and if the C++ compiler is not there, discard that version from the list of available MSVS versions to use? _______________________________________________ Scons-dev mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist2.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/scons-dev
