I didn't realize that h2 used to do configure/qmake. So I checked out
0.9.3.1.

Wow. I (personally) haven't really liked scons... but I can see why you
like it much better than the autoconf/qmake thing. Yikes!

You're right... but I also don't think there should be two build systems,
so I thought it was worth talking about. In addition, I think our
Sconstruct file could use some major restructuring.
Ideas:
* 2 build systems: For getting out 0.9.4, just
simply having 2 build systems may be the best
and most stable option. Put all the files
out there and add clear instructions in
README or INSTALL.
* scons: Figure out how to make scons work for
Windows, OSX, and Qt. Possibly take the oppor-
tunity to restructure some things. (Possibly
not.)
* Raw qmake: Configure by manually editing a file
like config.pri
* autoconf/qmake: The 0.9.3 autoconf/qmake scheme
may have been more complicated than it needed
to be. Maybe? Perhaps a more simple setup could
be developed.
* script/qmake: Write our own configure script to
drive qmake. We could do python, bash, whatever.
* waf: There seems to be a mass exodus in the
Linux Audio commuinty from scons to waf. waf
is a fork of scons.
* cmake: KDE dumped scons for cmake in the KDE 4
rewrite. However, when I dug into this... the
reasons were peculiar to KDE and other Very
Large Projects.
Opinions?
Peace,
Gabriel
