    Hey I haven't used the code for a long time and when I tried to complie with scons all I get is 

    scons: Reading SConscript files ...
    Checking whether the C compiler works... no
    compiler not correctly configured

     

    I can't remember how to fix it and have been trying for 4 hours

     The Scones guide is broken right now but it might get fixed very soon.

    Try using Visual studio one till then, it's updated and more importantly it works.

    Would be nice if you didn't hijack development-related questions.

     

    The scons guide is broken because it doesn't include libcurl right now, and probably won't for a time. This doesn't explain why OP's C compiler doesn't work. Anyway, it *is* broken, so VS is the way for now.

    The scons guide is broken, but it definitely gets past that step. But it will fail later on so cracker1000 is correct that you should use the visual studio guide instead.

    If you don't want to use visual studio, you could install it to get the msvc compiler, then use scons --msvc. This will use scons but with the visual studio compiler, letting you use other IDEs.
