Build clean objs option generates scons: *** No SConstruct file found

[WhisperingChaos]

Immediately after a successful download & build of the openwns simulator: using ./playground.py install --flavour=dbg, and before applying any changes to its files, the build process to clean object files generates the message: "scons: *** No SConstruct file found" for each of the project directories and the clean operation fails to remove the object files from the project subdirectories subordinate to the .build parent directory.

A single "SConstruct" file exists in the current ~/myOpenWNS directory. Since the install worked, there must be something about this process' setting of file paths to locate the SConstruct file that's correctly performed during the install but absent/improperly performed by the clean.

Thanks for any insight into the cause of this problem!

Here's the terminal output of the failed clean process:

A request to rebuild after this failed clean indicates that everything is "up to date" which shouldn't be the case if the clean worked:

I just noticed that I placed this bug in the wrong project. I'll add it to the SDK project. Therefore, you can ignore and delete this bug report.

Sorry.
