I installed SCons using virtualenv in windows through python (i mean windows shell lol not python) but it wont connect to the plugin

[Block-Flock]

i downloaded SCons using the instructions from this https://scons-cookbook.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#setting-up-a-python-virtualenv-for-scons and idk it isnt connecting to the easycpp plugin and i really want to get the plugin working

Hello Block-Flock,

I have not really tried using a virtual environment. Are still having problems? Please let me know.

well yes its still not connecting to the plugin yknow with the virtualenv, how should i download it for it to work

[dkollmann]

Can you add a screenshot of what state the plugin shows? Is there a download button next to SCons? If you click it, what happens?

[Block-Flock]

well it has the download button, i tried doing that but it just lags and does nothing

Can you open a terminal and run "python -m SCons --version" and see what it says?

[Block-Flock]

alright lemme do that

[Block-Flock]

it says no module named scons

[dkollmann]

Ah yes, it is a bug. The code does not install it for Windows, weird, maybe it was somehow deleted from the code by accident.

Can you run this in a terminal and see if it fixes the issue? "python -m pip install SCons"

[Block-Flock]

alright ima do that

[Block-Flock]

it works now thank you very much lol

[dkollmann]

Okay cool. I will test my fix tomorrow and commit it.

[Block-Flock]

alright good luck to you :)
