+--- Thread: Scons compiler (/showthread.php?tid=786)
Scons compiler - mpo - 09-18-2007
Hi, why scons needs Python and Dev-C++ to compile?
- Noneus - 09-18-2007
scons isn't a compiler. Scons calls the compiler. Scons reads a file (SConstruct and SConscripts) that says how to compile vdrift.
- Dev-C++ is needed for the compiler itself? I guess.
- Python is needed because scons is written in python.

Noneus is correct. Dev-C++ is not really needed but I haven't figured out exactly which mingw packages will replace the stuff that's included with Dev-C++, so for now just get Dev-C++ and use the bin directory that comes with it.
