Also I'm trying to figure out how to make "scons install" set the permissions a file, just like UNIX's "install -m". Any ideas?

man scons | grep Chmod

My difficulty isn't in the RTFM, it's in getting Chmod to work once i've RTFM. I haven't had a course in scons so I'm pretty much monkeying around. Do you know any good tutorials?

installs.append([env.InstallAs(prefix + '/bin/desire', 'src/desire.tk'), Chmod(prefix + '/bin/desire', 0755)])

scons: *** attempted to add a non-Node as source of install: ActionCaller(env, target, source) is a <type 'instance'>, not a Node

installs.append(env.InstallAs(prefix+'/bin/desire', 'src/desire.tk')) installs.append(Chmod(prefix+'/bin/desire', 0755))

(no error message, but silently ignored)

installs.append(env.Command(prefix+'/bin/desire','src/desire.tk', [env.InstallAs('$TARGET','$SOURCE'), Chmod('$TARGET',0755)]))

TypeError: Tried to lookup Dir '.' as a File.: File "SConstruct", line 59: [env.InstallAs('$TARGET','$SOURCE'), Chmod('$TARGET',0755)])) (and then 10 more lines)

installs.append(env.Command(prefix+'/bin/desire','src/desire.tk', [env.InstallAs(prefix+'/bin/desire','src/desire.tk'), Chmod(prefix+'/bin/desire',0755)]))

sh: /home/matju/bin/desire: No such file or directory scons: *** [/home/matju/bin/desire] Error 127

installs.append(env.Command(prefix+'/bin/desire','src/desire.tk', ["install -m 755 $SOURCE $TARGET"]))

finally works, but it won't work with MSVC6. At least I've learned to use -m and not --mode, for OSX-compat reasons.

I forgot to say: the cache of autodetections just doesn't work here. I tried --warn=all and it didn't say anything. I've seen --debug but I don't know how to get it to print something about the cache of autodetections.

it should look like this:

Checking for dlopen() in C library dl... (cached) yes Checking for jack_activate() in C library jack... (cached) yes Checking for snd_pcm_info() in C library asound... (cached) yes Checking for sin() in C library m... (cached) yes

it's using the same feature as the dependency tracking, so possibly you screwed up some permissions?
