No. I want immediate proof that scons is _capable_ of replacing autotools. Huge difference.
Actually, I would like to free myself from the obligation of challenging autotools. I personally believe that scons will evolve to a state that can replace autotools without doubt, but it is not easy to prove it *now*, given its 0.96.xx status. Currently, autotools work on windows, cygwin, solaris and every linux variant under the sun so a replacement is not needed. As long as package packers can live with autotools, I have no intention to change the current status. That does not have to mean autotools are easy to use. We windows (?) programmers have had trouble with changing even a small bit of .m4 file, and we dislike the lengthy and sometimes unnecessary ./configure process, and the need to change between mingw/cygwin etc just to get the right version of autotools. Please allow *us* to use the scons system and make our lives a bit easier. *nix people please stay with autotools. Cheers, Bo
