[Scons-dev] howto debug configure

[William Deegan]

Pawel,

Likely you’re better off bringing such questions to the users mailing list.
The devel mailing list is meant to discuss the internal development of SCons.
I’m cc’ing that list.
I believe there is a config.log generated when you run the configure context.

Also, can you create a small reproducible test case for this?
That way we can try it out and see what’s going on.
