I'm all for trying to figure stuff out on my own, but when it comes to this sort of thing I'm sorta lost and get frustrated really easily (I could never be a sysadmin).

I'm following this guide, and I have mingw/msys setup, python installed, and I've actually successfully completed the guide some time in the past and at one point had SCons working correctly. However, something must have happened during the last few months that has screwed up SCons configuration.

I cd to the GtkRadiant directory, run scons target=setup, and get the following error:

Code:
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
SCons 2.0.1
OS="'{' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file."
Compiler version check failed - need gcc 3.x or later:
CC: gcc None
CXX: g++ None


Any ideas?

I'd start with cleaning out everything (`git clean -dfx`, forgot what svn calls it) and do a rebuild

I'll do that... also worth noting: I'm trying to build the 1.5 branch

A clean checkout of the 1.5 branch gives me the same error.

Also:

In the SConscript file, the first lines are:

Code:
import os, sys, commands, string
from makeversion import get_version
# OS Detection:
OS = commands.getoutput('uname')


It seems to me that this is what is producing the error, but I'm not really familiar enough with this stuff to know why.

EDIT:

Okay, I got a little farther. Replacing commands.getoutput('uname') with platform.system() seems to have done the trick. Still receiving the error about CC/GCC but this seems to be a PATH problem.

From what I've been reading around it seems like commands.<whatever> are unix-specific and therefore fudge up everything on Windows. I'll post a comprehensive solution if I come to one.

Send the patch to the Radiant people once you're done, I'm sure they'll appreciate it.
