scons does not work either:
I have updated SConstruct so that scons gives out error messages when it is not called from top source directory or development/scons. Please try again and see if you get any other problem. I am glad that you are trying scons. Just remember that after the first run, all options are cached so you only need to do $ scons -f development/scons/SConstruct -j4 install afterward. No autogen.sh, no configure. Cheers, Bo
