I'm trying to build the 1.1.0 driver with VS 2015 (which is required for our project). Scons doesn't seem to be able to find / recognize VS 2015; it always runs VS 2013 instead. I tried adding "--msvc-version=14.0" to the scons command line, but that just resulted in a (wrong) message "VC version 14.0 not installed. Is there any way to get it to build with VS 2015? Thanks for your help. |

rconn - Glad to hear it is working for you. I'm closing this ticket out but feel free to ping it if you have any further need for help. |

Thanks; I was (eventually) able to get it working with the new SCons. (At first it couldn't find an acceptable Python, even though it had worked with the previous version of SCons. I installed a new Python, and it still couldn't find it. Eventually figured out that SCons doesn't support x64 Python, and once I installed a 32-bit Python it all worked.) Thanks for your help. |

I just tried it. With VS2015, SCons 2.4.1, the pre-built boost 1.60 binaries, and legacy-1.1.0, I'm able to build the driver without any problems. Please try upgrading your SCons to 2.4.1, where support for VS 2015 was added. |

What version of SCons are you using? |
