May I just suggest a fine build tool written in Python - http://code.google.com/p/waf/
Recently Samba project and Ardour moved to it and even Scons wiki says: "Much faster than SCons." (http://www.scons.org/wiki/SconsVsOtherBuildTools#head- 91cf190ca6ee2a85173873f5558889468b26e433) Sincerely, Gour -- OpenShot needs a flexible autotools-based installation script https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421697 You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Developers, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Bug description: I'm really impressed by the OpenShot screenshots and screencasts, but current methods of installation are a real showstopper for me. When installing third-party programs, specially development versions, I want some flexibility that neither the build wizard and the debs give me. I would like to be able to at least specify the directories for both installation and libraries. Specifying a directory for libraries is particularly important to test with bleeding-edge versions of ffmpeg and mlt avoiding any conflicts with programs compiled for old versions (such as kdenlive). The best course of action would be to use autotools. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
