The only thing that is necessary is to add a dest_dir= option for "sons install" so that the installation can be done in another directory tree. So, with dest_dir=/tmp/foo, for example, instead of installing in /usr/bin/lyx, scons would install /tmp/foo/usr/bin/lyx I'll take a look later, but I can't get to this for a few days --- so I am just passing this on in case someone else wants to add this feature. If the dest_dir feature is added into the scon stuff, it will literally take 5 minutes for me to create a supporting spec file. ---Kayvan -- Kayvan A.
