Scons Problem

Hello,
I have this project for my Programming class where every team must develop a game for the final presentation. My professor recommends the use of Dark GDK as a c++ game engine but I showed him the Cafu engine and he agreed to let our team to use Cafu. I have downloaded the engine, Python 2.7, and Scons. Python installed fine and I installed scons as an administrator and changed the compiler architecture to 32 bit according to the forum
here. I cant figure out what im doing wrong any suggestions? I have no clue if scons works right on my computer because the files are there in the Python folder yet the command prompt does not recognize the scons commands at all

Hi X21,
have you tried to start scons entering the whole path to the scons Executable? On my Mac, this works fine.

It works now but it now says :
Code: Select all
C:\Python27\Scripts>scons C:\Users\Eric\Documents\Cafu
scons: *** No SConstruct file found.
File "C:\Python27\Scripts\..\Lib\site-packages\scons-2.1.0\SCons\Script\Main.py"
, line 904, in _main

Hi X21,
welcome to the Cafu forums!
Please change directory into the Cafu top-level directory, i.e.
Code: Select all
C:\Python27\Scripts> cd C:\Users\Eric\Documents\Cafu
C:\Users\Eric\Documents\Cafu> scons
should work.

Ive tried that before and it dosent work. Scons will only work if I call it from its working directory. Ive tried to add user and system enviroment variables but it still dose not work. maybe I messed up somewhere?
I made the enviroment variables these:
Code: Select all
User variables for Eric:
Variable name: scons
Variable value: C:\Python27\Scripts
System variables :
Variable name: scons
Variable value: C:\Python27\Scripts

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you did...
As described at
Getting Started with the Cafu Source Code / Python and SCons / Windows, you have to add both
C:\Python27 and
C:\Python27\Scripts to the
PATH environment variable, see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310519 and
http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/environment.htm for additional information.
When set, check the result with
If it contains the above two Python paths,
scons should work as well.
If it still doesn't, please post both the output of running
echo %PATH% and
scons.
