Comparison between scons and autotools.

[Bo Peng]

Dear list,

*Please* just put cold comparison data in this thread. No discussion
and debates. (Open another thread if needed).
On my dual processor Xeon 2.8G Linux workstation, I get

scons --config=force -j3 frontend=qt4 qt_dir=/path/to/qt4       => 6:37s
autogen.sh; ./configure....;  make -j3                                
       => 10:32s

I expect larger difference under windows, but we need to wait for the
numbers there.
