CT and
Csound are now the only two apps on my system that use SCons.
The maintainers of Csound couldn't make the autotools work for
themselves, so now you must add downloading and installing SCons (and an
up-to-date Python) to the process of building Csound. Happily, that
isn't especially difficult, but it does add another layer of complexity
to the process. More to the point, why don't the mainstrean Linux
distros include SCons as a matter of course ?
Debian does... and I believe gento too..
though not sure about redhat-based distros..
It is part of Planet CCRMA for RedHat 8.0/9 and Fedora Core 1 (because
cheesetracker is there as well :-)
