Re: [Scons-dev] [Scons-users] Man page problems with installing latest scons from Bitbucket
Just one more thing on this, redirecting to scons-dev. I just updated my SCons build VM to Trusty (14.04) from Precise (12.04), and I get the same error Michael was seeing when trying to do a full packaging build of SCons: error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe', /usr/lib/python2.7/distutils/command/wininst-6.0.exe not included in the Debian packages. It seems the wininst-*.exe files have been removed from the python2.7-dev package in 14.04, although they were there in 12.04. I worked around it by copying them from a Windows machine with python distutils.

I worked around it by copying them from a Windows machine with python distutils. Grr. thanks for figuring this out! I updated the page http://scons.org/wiki/SconsBuildRequirements accordingly, and also provided a TGZ archive containing the missing EXEs. Additionally, I moved the link to the requirements directly into the "Contributing" section of the developer guide ( http://scons.org/wiki/DeveloperGuide ). I hope that makes sense...

Dirk, Are they available from another apt-repo? Maybe one of the "unsafe" ones?

(Where they stick blobs) I'm not sure (didn't check)...but they're definitely not contained in the "python source" package. I added the "source" repos to my UpdateManager, and then did an "apt-get source python". Nada...
