I hacked Makefile.am and other files so nearly all the files compile.
Everything except there is no csound made.

So I d/loaded scons and tried that route.  The actions seems much more
like sanity.  However it does not compile (which is odd as the
autoconf version did!)

Hi John,

It looks like some flags and macros didn't get added in during compile, 
specifically -DLINUX.  What OS and version is this on?  And what is the 
line that is show at the beginning of running SCons:

Platform is 'linux2'

My guess is that if your platform is neither "linux1" or "linux2" but 
you're on linux. If this is the case, look for this line in the 
SConstruct file:

if (sys.platform == 'linux1' or sys.platform == 'linux2'):

and add a check for whatever your platform might be. That should add the 
flags necessary for it.

If that is not the case, could you post the complete messages from 
running SCons?

Thanks and hope that helps!
steven

Regarding sys.platform in Python for SConstruct, I found:

Under Linux, sys.platform is usually "linux2".
However, RedHat changed this to "linux-i386" for the Intel versions,
in order to distinguish between Linux for different CPUs. Apparently
Mandrake doesn't do this, or in a different way


I also found:

if sys.platform[:3] == 'win':
            text['font'] = ("lucida console", 8)
#            text['font'] = ("courier new", 10)
        if sys.platform[:5] == 'linux':
            text['font'] = ("fixed", 12)


My version of the SConstruct here is a bit messy as it has things for 
-mno-cygwin on cygwin.  I'll check in changes to the SConstruct file 
from home later if no one else gets to it before me.  My guess is that 
for John's case he may have linux-i386 as the sys.platform, thus the 
flags weren't being set.

Thanks,
steven
