Problem making "scons install"

[leillo1975]

Hello. I see you are making some changes on code. I tried to install the game after compilling with:

scons install prefix=/media/DATOS/VDRIFT

but when i exectute this command I have the following error:

[logzero]

Something going on with the mo builder (gettext, msgfmt). I haven't looked into it. Help is appreciated.

This error seems to be fixed, but now I found another one: https://github.com/VDrift/vdrift/issues/184

I have the same issue. Data is taken from https://svn.code.sf.net/p/vdrift/code/vdrift-data/,

mo_builder(["data/locale/hu_HU/LC_MESSAGES/vdrift.mo"], ["data/locale/hu_HU.po"])
scons: *** [data/locale/hu_HU/LC_MESSAGES/vdrift.mo] Error 127
scons: building terminated because of errors.

Do I need to generate locales to remove errors? If I delete Hungarian locale I will get error with next locale and so on.

Today I tried to build again with scons and have the same error:

Is there another way to build Vdrift in Ubuntu without using scons?

After a few months away, I tried to build the game again today and I still have the same problem. I use these commands to build: scons arch=a64 release=1 extbullet=1 prefix=[route/of/installation] scons install prefix=[route/of/installation]

I'm having different problems with scons; first it wants every print statement to have parenthesis. After adding parenthesis to dozens of print's, another error occurs ... about a missing method ...

.......
$ scons arch=a64 release=1 extbullet=1 prefix=/usr/local
scons: Reading SConscript files ...
File "/home/danw58/Downloads/zip/vdrift/vdrift/SConstruct", line 235

print 'running ', cmd, ' ... '

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(...)?

How does anybody manage to compile this? Or ... Does anybody?
