Subject: scons does not run
Date: Mon, 28 Jan 2019 13:42:22 -0500

scons refuses to run on my system. When I run it with or without a
SConscript file, I get this error message:

---BEGIN---
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have a hunch that this is caused by a missing environment variable,
but I don't know where to go from there.

I'm still getting errors similar to before. When I use an empty
SConscript, I get this output:

---BEGIN---

scons: done reading SConscript files.

If I add only the statement `Environment()` to the SConscript, I get
this output:

---BEGIN---

When I run scons without a SConscript, I get the normal "No SConstruct
file found" message.

I've already tried rebooting.

I’m currently working on upgrading Scons.  I patched Scons to avoid this
error.

I guess we’ll also need to patch “lib/scons/SCons/Platform/__init__.py”
in the same manner then.

Could you tell me how I should run scons to reproduce this issue?  (I
don’t know anything about scons.)

Sure. I'll post the commands along with the output I posted before.
Note that `Environment` is a fundamental function that gets called in
just about every SConstruct file.

$ mkdir emptydirectory
mkdir: created directory 'emptydirectory'
$ cd emptydirectory/
$ touch SConstruct
$ scons
