I'm not a developper and incapable of having a real technical opinion. But why not wait until KDE finishes its transition to CMake. I guess it will take another 6 months to have a working building system on Linux, BSD Mac OSX and Windows and different flavors of compilers, documentation. There is also an evolving ruby script to convert autotools files to CMake in KDE svn. I imagine than in siwx months, LyX will have a better visibility to choose between scons and CMake. The 'dashboard' is also a nice feature for monitoring cross-platform http://public.kitware.com/dashboard.php?name=kde Cheers, Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org
