Bo Peng a écrit :
Urm... does one need to shout all the time when talking to cmake?

Pretty much looks like a argument with a senile FORTRAN compiler.

You have to agree that the following (src/support/SConscript) at least
looks better:

I agree Bo :-)
See, I knew you would beat me at this ;-)

3. (Minus) There are no standard ways for distribution lyx.  There are
codes lying around doing scons install; scons install-rpm etc. but I
will have to port them to lyx if I really want to have them.

I'd say distribute it with the source. I guess the total size of Scons+sconscripts is not bigger than configure script+Makefile.[am,in]

* if you guys want a bare build system that you can build lyx faster,
I can provide one in a few days. You will have to tweak a few
parameters for your system.

I _am_ very interested in a SCons build system that will work under windows. So I will help at least for that target.

* if you want a cross-platform build system with all the current
options and autoconf-like tests, it will take a few weeks. And I will
most likely only work on one system and rely on others to tweak/test
others.

* if you want a working scons build; scons install etc, it will take
longer, and may never happen. although such things can be found and
adapted from many KDE/Gnome projects, and from NSIS.

What do you think?

Great Job!
I am convinced and I will certainly use with minimal capability (building LyX is enough).

Abdel.
