Reply To: installation using scons on cygwin

We’re way out into wild-guess territory here.

It’s complaining that platform/types.hh is missing. If you look in that folder, you’ll probably find it doesn’t exist. The folder will contain many OS-specific choices for the file platform/types.hh. I have a vague feeling that SCons is supposed to copy the right version for you, since it is supposed to identify the platform as part of its normal compiling job.

You may be able to manually copy the correct platform/??/???/??/types.hh to platform/types.hh and have it work. You may also, or instead, have an underlying problem with SCons misidentifying your computer and wandering off in the wrong direction.
