Creating VS Solution Yields: "TypeError: get_host_target() missing 1 required positional argument: 'msvc_version':"

Godot version

System information

Win 10, AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 2400GE w/ Radeon Vega Graphics

Issue description

I tried creating a Visual Studio Solution by following the compilation instructions:
https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/development/compiling/compiling_for_windows.html

using the following code:
scons p=windows vsproj=yes

but then this happens:

I'm able to compile the project right using:
scons -j8 platform=windows
the bin file ran as expected. But I got stuck in prepping it for VS.
I tried reinstalling VS but that didn't work. Am I missing something?

What I've got installed so far:
+Visual Studio Community 2022 with both Desktop Development C++ and Game development with C++
+Python 3.10.15
+Git.2.37.1
+SCons: v4.4.0.

Steps to reproduce

basically I followed this tutorial:

I figured out what was wrong

I looked at the methods.py file:

the get_host_target function was missing an argument. I looked at the Scons Repo and found the function:

...I tweaked the methods.py file a bit:

I got it to work:

Might be time to update this part of the file:

But I'm not so sure if changing this would be safe for anyone not using the latest version of SCons.
Anyways, hope this helps :)

Thanks for the details. Sounds like SCons 4.4.0 added this new mandatory argument so we'll have to use either form depending on which SCons version is used.
