Even on a Friday I think that I will start to think about changing to scons, after all I get stunned everytime I see configure searching for fortran and fortran 95 when testing for lyx requirements.
Good move. I need more testers for scons. Currently, scons is trying to ensure a correct build under the same command line options for all platforms, and for lyx1.4 and 1.5. Whenever you see scons fails after a correct configure, you should report the problem even if it is caused by your wrongful use of scons. Cheers, Bo
