A bit more SCons

Today I tried creating a SConstruct file on a Windows box that was basically identical to the one I had running on my Mac, but it encountered problems with not finding compiler and linker tools. I spent a little while trying to debug the problem but decided I needed to get a broader understanding of how SCons works and what it provides. So, I printed out the User Guide and started reading.

However, I've just spent the last hour browsing the SCons Wiki and, in particular, the SCons Recipes. Had I consulted this page during my debugging I probably would have resolved my problem quickly. Having real world examples are always useful learning aids.

I am going to continue reading through the Users Guide as SCons is a technology I need to know well if I am going to use it effectively in my day-to-day activities.
