Thank you, I was asking because I use scons+msvc08 to compile Blender so It'd have been handy to compile InkScape that way as well :)

Right now this is not possible. There are some places which use GNU C
extensions.

SCons suffers from serious design problems which make it very slow on
large projects. I have ported our build system to use Waf in a branch
some time ago, and it was working reasonably well. I even added a few
features that were not present in the Autotools-based system. However,
the trunk has not been changed to Waf yet, mainly because I didn't
have the time to work out the remaining minor issues, and because I
don't have any means to test how this system works on OSX.
