Hi Jacob,
it seems i got rid of the scons part of flext because it was too
badly maintained (i don't even remember when....)
Anyway, the autoconf stuff seems to be more promising, although i
really hate it.

There are both skeletons of build systems for autotools and scons
but since i personally don't need it and obviously noone wants to help me
with it, it will probably not be finished shortly. I don't find the flext
build system scary, it's just different. Compared to how many workarounds i
have to invent to support autotools under all platforms it's actually a
pleasure to work with. gr~~~If you post your SConstruct files into subversion, I'll try to see if I can help. Theoretically, all that needs to be asked of the user is:
- where to install to (perhaps with a default of /usr/local/lib/pd)
- where the pd source is located -- and this only if a program needs
more than m_pd.h (or if m_pd.h is not in one of the standard locations)
I realize, of course, that this is far easier to state than to do :-). And having to support myriad platforms only makes it harder. But I think it's extremely worthwhile to reduce as much as possible the number of questions asked of the user (e.g. where is sndobj.h? I dunno, it's wherever the debian package puts it, and it's always nice when configure scripts can find it unprompted.)
