cant run scons configure

[c01dfu510n]

Hi.
I try to build the source in Vista 64bit.
When I run the command scons configure this is what i get:

Code: Select all

C:\FreeOrion_SDK\FreeOrion\GG>scons configure
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python31\Scripts\..\Lib\site-packages\scons-1.2.0.d20090223\SCons\__i
nit__.py", line 43, in <module>
    import SCons.compat
  File "C:\Python31\Scripts\..\Lib\site-packages\scons-1.2.0.d20090223\SCons\com
pat\__init__.py", line 215
    raise Error, "Cannot move a directory '%s' into itself '%s'." % (src, dst)
               ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

C:\FreeOrion_SDK\FreeOrion\GG>

I'll appreciate some help.

Thanks,
CF

You have Python 3.1? That's not compatible with Python 2 so get Python 2.5 (python25.lib is needed when linking).
There might be something else/more in it but start by downgrading.

This problem seems to be happening well before the linking stage... He can't even get scons configure to run.

That said, scons might not be compatible with Python 3.

That is what I meant.
I had Python 2.6 but I also needed to install 2.5 to link. To compile I needed to use Visual Studio Command Line. Post
