Installing SCons on Leopard

Posted in programming by sudarkoff on November 3, 2007

In case you were wondering, here’s how you would install SCons on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard):


$ su -
$ curl -O http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/scons/scons-0.97.tar.gz
$ tar zxvf scons-0.97.tar.gz
$ cd scons-0.97
$ python setup.py install --prefix=/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current
$ for i in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/scons*; do ln -s $i /usr/local/bin/`basename $i`; done
$ exit

    Thank you for the info. I recently installed Leopard, and today decided to do some work in C, and lo and behold – scons no longer works after the OS X update. Nice instructions and sweet little loop to make the necessary symlinks.

    Thank you. I also recently upgraded to 10.5 as well and ran into the same problem. Your fix worked beautifully.
