Compiling with scons-3.0.0 fails

[Awerick]

When using scons version 3, compiling rmlint fails:

$ scons config
[...]
Checking for C header file sys/utsname.h... yes
  File ".../rmlint/src/SConscript", line 29
    env.Alias('install', env.InstallPerm('$PREFIX/bin', programs, 0755))
                                                                     ^
SyntaxError: invalid token

Probably the reason is that scons 3 made the switch to Python 3 and rmlint's build script is Python 2.
(In this particular case the reason is probably: Leading zeros are not allowed in Python 3.)

Fedora 27 Beta only provides scons 3.0.0 but after manually downloading and installing scons 2.5.1, the compilation succeeded.

Hey @Awerick,

...thanks for the hint. Should be corrected as of 11fb8f9.

@sahib Is that going to work with archaic distro's (pre python 2.6, e.g. debian lenny?)

@sahib Commit did not fix the issue.

I'm not sure to be honest. I changed it to int("644", 8) to be completely sure about that (7b93e80).

Same problem? What python/scons version are you using?

[Bfgeshka]

dev-util/scons-3.0.0, python versions are 2.7.14 and 3.6.3.

By the way, sorry to mislead you. I was looking for changes in master and didn't even look into branches.

Current develop builds just fine.

Okay, good. I'll close this issue then for now.
