>>> scons ... TARGET_ARCH=amd64 -h
...
TARGET_ARCH: Target processor architecture (x86|amd64|arm64)
    default: x86
    actual: amd64
...

without this option it build x86, in 2026 we mostly use amd64 and arm64, and scons scripts should autodetect that, till that is done, manual intervention required

Recently I had an error while compiling an installer because libiconv was missing. Maybe it would be good to add the libiconv package as a dependency, since installing this package resolved it.

probably https://github.com/SCons/scons/issues/4585

try scons 4.7 until a fix is available:

sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/s/scons/scons-4.7.0-2-any.pkg.tar.zst --noconfirm

I get the following build error when building. It seems like a , gets added in the SKIPUTILS value (in the PKGBUILd it is SKIPUTILS='NSIS Menu' without ,). Is this possibly an escaping issue? Is anyone else having this problem?

Please do not pipe curl into patch. Instead, include the patch in the repository and add it to source (and sha256sums).

This does not build for me:

AttributeError: 'SConsEnvironment' object has no attribute 'has_key':
  File "/home/build/.cache/yay/nsis/src/nsis-3.06.1-src/SConstruct", line 765:
    defenv.SConscript(dirs = srcpath, variant_dir = vdir, duplicate = False, exports = exports)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/SCons/Script/SConscript.py", line 597:
    return _SConscript(self.fs, *files, **subst_kw)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/SCons/Script/SConscript.py", line 285:
    exec(compile(scriptdata, scriptname, 'exec'), call_stack[-1].globals)
  File "/home/build/.cache/yay/nsis/src/nsis-3.06.1-src/Contrib/ExDLL/SConscript", line 59:
    if env.has_key('PREFIX_PLUGINAPI_LIB'):

From what i can gather from https://scons.org/scons-420-is-available.html they removed that function in favor of something else (which they left unspecified).

For now i used an older scons 4.1.0 from archive.archlinux.org which builds.

3.05 + this patch https://sourceforge.net/p/nsis/patches/296/ makes it work with Python 3 scons on Windows. Maybe worth a try.

xantares commented on 2019-08-31 09:52 (UTC)

fixed, switched to python2-scons
