It is linux I am concerned about. We have a much richer environment there and we want our build system to be able to cope.
Then, at least you have already successfully compiled it under linux, right? I am going to commit your patch, with a few other improvements.
This is why I want scons to prove itself _before_ it is added to trunk, to show that it actually can do what it claims to be able to.
Please wait for a few days. With the helping hands from Enrico and Abdel (and ...), I should be able to prove it to you. If you are still not convinced, I will remove the whole scons stuff. (It must feel good to be the boss. ) I have been generally happy with scons since it has very a simple design and I can implement features I want easily. For example, I can use glob to detect libboost libraries and add a logging system easily by modifying the internal spawn interface. I do have some complains but they are mostly addressed by waf (the kde variant of scons).
Sure, but they could have done that looking at a patch or a branch as well.
Nothing is easier than svn update. :-)

Can anyone translate this for me? This does not read like 'good morning'. I may have to fight back in Chinese here. Bo
