Cygwin currently provides two versions of scons
package in its built-in package library: 2.3.4-1 and 2.4.0-1.
(https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/scons-src.html)
However, I am now trying to compile an external C++ library with Cygwin terminal on Windows platform. After following certain tutorial, I have run into the issue shown below.
$ scons
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Using Python version: 2.7.18
Using gcc version 10.2.0
SCons 2.4.1 or greater required, but you have SCons 2.4.0
Now the problem is that Scons 2.4.0 is the newest version in Cygwin's built-in package library. So is there a way that I can download a newer version of scons
separately and add it to the path under cygwin manually?
Many thanks for any information about this issue.
The following package(s) had downloaded errors: python2-2.7.15-1
. This means one can only choose scons 2.4.0 in their first installation to avoid errors. – K1ryU921 Feb 20 '21 at 09:41
