Hi, Next point, scons build yhc also requires the C compiler, which is unfortunate because what I really want is yhc, not yhi. I realise its a slightly obscure request, but any chance? Catch is going to depend on yhc, not yhi, so this would be useful for Catch. Thanks Neil On 8/17/06, Neil Mitchell wrote:

Hi,

At home now, of course with no Visual Studio, and as a result:

Generating config.h with the following settings:

TypeError: int argument required: File "SConstruct", line 38: configure(env, Configure, ARGUMENTS) # Configure File "C:\Neil\yhc-devel\build\configure.py", line 97: config_h_build('config.h', 'config.h.new.in', vals) File "C:\Neil\yhc-devel\build\config_h.py", line 21: text = config_h_in.read() % defines

I guess we should check for a C compiler first.

Just for note, I'll probably try installing gcc rather than Visual Studio (in fact gcc might already be installed here) - will gcc + Windows work at all?

Thanks
