My first impression of scons is that its much slower than configure/make, probably because it does a lot of stuff automatically. From my perspective, this really sucks when having to tweak the Pd-extended build on three different computers. In a fresh CVS checkout of 0.38.4, autoconf && ./configure && make took a total of 34 seconds. In a fresh CVS checkotu of pd devel_0_38, after waiting 14 minutes, 8 seconds, I got this:
I have a problem with scons, in that it tries to scan a lot of directories it shouldn't scan, especially all of $HOME recursively if you use prefix=$HOME (or all of /usr if you use prefix=/usr).
