scons v4.3.0-1 outputs nothing on cygwin v2. 3.1

[Martin Ortuno]

Hi everyone,
Here the results...

$ which -a alternatives

/usr/sbin/alternatives



Then..

$ ls -glo $(which -a alternatives)

-rwxrwx---+ 1 18944 Apr  5  2009 /usr/sbin/alternatives



After that I ran…

$ /usr/sbin/alternatives --verbose --auto python

reading /var/lib/alternatives/python



Just to see if that helped I ran:

$ /usr/sbin/alternatives --test --auto python

auto

/usr/bin/python



/usr/bin/python3.9

39

would link /etc/alternatives/python -> /usr/bin/python3.9



Finally I ran:



$ /usr/sbin/alternatives --display python

python - status is auto.

link currently points to /usr/bin/python3.9

/usr/bin/python3.9 - priority 39

Current `best' version is /usr/bin/python3.9.


Thanks,

Martin
