Default target ignores OS bitness

[Marc Valle]

Reproduction

1. Download 3.0.0 version of EPID SDK from EPID SDK site

2. Build on 64 Bit platform with 32-bit version of Windows 7 by invoking scons with default args

Result

Build Targets 64 bit platform, and unit tests fail to run in 32 bit environment.

--target=x86 will allow the build to work but unit tests will still fail to run, apparently they still believe they should run in 64 bit env

Hi Marc,

So if i understand this correctly. I build a 64-bit version of the SDK on a 32-bit version of windows. I try to run the 64-bit code on a 32-bit version of windows and the 64-bit code fails to run on a 32-bit version of windows. Is this correct? I see you have

def set_default_production_options():
    SetOptionDefault('TARGET_PLATFORM', 'x86_64')
    SetOptionDefault('CONFIG', 'release')

So by default you assume a 64-bit build.

From what I recall 32-bit windows will not run 64-bit code. Only 64-bit windows will run 32-bit and 64-bit code.

Doh, That would explain the default behavior!

This is indented behavior due to default platform setting

Not a bug
