digitalmars.D - Help needed for D support in SCons on Windows

Hi,

I know there are a number of people out there who use SCons to build D
codes.

I know there are a number of those people who work on Windows.

Your help is being asked for.

All the work I have done for D support in SCons has been based entirely
on Debian Sid, but tested on Fedora Rawhide, and on occasion OSX El
Capitan.

It turns out there are a number problems with the SCons tests running
on Windows, many of them associated with the D support.=20

https://github.com/SCons/scons/issues/3205

As you will see I am choosing not to get involved in anything to do
with Windows. The D support in SCons on Windows does though need some
work, and so SCons needs some people to get involved =E2=80=93 due to
enlightened self-interest.

I don't use SCons, but took a quick look; my current guess is that the 
problem is the chocolatey installation of dmd and the rest in AppVeyor; 
chocolatey doesn't install DMD in %SYSTEMROOT% and I don't know if the 
path updates take effect without restarting the shell (my own PC is too 
polluted to test this locally).

Using SCons.Debug.Trace just crashes with "ValueError: I/O operation on 
closed file.", writing both to stdout and a file, so I haven't been able 
to test anything.

Thanks for taking a look into it. It seems like Chocolatey is not playing
entirely fair.
