Have you considered using Scons as your build system, instead of Automake?

Have you considered using Scons as your build system, instead of Automake?
- udp 15y agoIt's possible - I can't say I gave it much consideration, I just used automake because I knew about it and it's widely available. I shouldn't need to include autogen.sh or require people to have automake/autoconf installed to build it, but I had problems using a configure script/Makefile generated on one system on another. I guess I'll sort it out when I come to understand the tools a bit better.
- misham 15y agoI'm putting together a pull request with some cleanup for Automake files. I'll take a look at porting the Automake configs to Scons next.
- jff 15y agoI think a question people should often ask themselves is: Have you considered if you need a build system at all? Is this something I can properly build with a plain old Makefile?
