I did not read it like that. André pointed out (and was right IMO) that .C and .c work fine on windows as long as you don't need foo.C and foo.c at the same time, so scons does not as well as it could here. The reason for renaming from .C to .cpp is not "scons needs it" but "it is useful for a couple of reasons, one being some problems on windows". This has been stated more than once. > Also, as you can see, this problem has been brought up several times > but no action had been taken. I have no reason to believe that this > will happen this time. And this is what I don't like. I promised to do the change, and you still believe it will not happen. The difference to the last times this issue has been discussed was that then nobody said he wanted to do it, only a conclusion "this should happen some time" has been reached. OK, Lars said he wants to wait for a while, but this does not mean to wait forever. Anyway, I stop participating in these meta-discussions right now, it does only cost time and resultsv in nothing.
