SCons is a platform-independent software configuration and build system |
| 18 |
|
written in Python. If SCons and Python are not already installed on your |
| 25 |
|
files for Windows. Most Linux distributions already come with Python |
| 26 |
|
installed and ready to use. |

SCons *may* use a libtiff already installed on your system. However, if |
| 29 |
< |
it doesn't find one, it will build its own from sources included with |
| 30 |

Radiance. |

On Windows, Radiance gets built with MS Visual Studio if present, the |
| 33 |
+ |
community editions are sufficient. |
| 34 |
+ |
VS 2013 is currently the most recent version that does it correctly. |
| 35 |
+ |
VS 2015 also performs the build, but it uses the new "universal CRT" |
| 36 |
+ |
from Windows 10, which has a bug that corrupts data in text pipes. |
| 37 |
+ |
A fix is apparently ready and should be released via autoupdate, |
| 38 |
+ |
probably around the time of the "anniversary update" in summer 2016. |
| 39 |
+ |
Older versions of VS may work as well, but haven't been tested with |
| 40 |
+ |
the current sources. |

specific combination of operating system and build tools (eg. compiler). |
| 66 |
|
On unix based systems, the compiler usually doesn't make much of a |
| 67 |
|
difference, but on Windows, there are seperate build environments for |

toolkits like Cygwin or MingW. |

"12.0" is the default for Visual Studio 2013. |

Once the text pipe bug in the universal CRT is fixed, the default |

will be changed to "14.0" for Visual Studio 2015. |
