Hello, There's been some talk about moving the DOLFIN build system to SCons. Any news on this front? We did some work on the build system a few months ago, introducing libtool for example, but there's still work to do. I think the autotools system is starting to show its age, perhaps there is no alternative for ultra-portability, but that's not really a priority for us. So I would very much support an effort to switch to something better for us, and do my best to help, even if I have no experience with SCons.
I agree. I find autotools very cryptic and painstaking because I don't understand it well (nor do I want to). On the surface, Scons seems to be a good alternative.
I heard from Theo that he's working on a Windows port of all FEniCS components. I imagine the build system is a major part of this. Looks like Scons works with Windows.
