Thanks for posting this pointer, it is really great to see a real example of a GTK build with SCons. Unfortunately, it has, for me, re-emphasized that SCons is missing the higher-level superstructure to make describing builds such as this easy and simple. I am a fan of build systems using a programming language (e.g. Gant, SCons, Waf, Rant, etc.) but it remains the case that Autotools has most of the required superstructure already and it is not really appearing for SCons quickly enough. Waf is perhaps further along than SCons. > oops, i lied. we use msgfmt and friends, not intltool. sorry. I think I must have done the same decision making as you as some point in the past as I am using msgfmt directly and not intltool for SCons and Rant builds. -- Russel. ==================================================== Dr Russel Winder +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK russel russel org uk
