Hi,

For some time ago Kent asked me to switch the build-system for SyFi from
autotools to a SCons based build-system (as we did for DOLFIN earlier this
year). Finally, I have something that works for me and that I think is
ready for testing by others.

To make the transition easier for me, I took the freedom to restructure
the folders and moving things around a bit. If you don't like it, feel
free to do it your way or tell me and I will try to make some changes.

If you would like to test, here is what you got to do:

1. Clone syfi-scons from the repository located at
http://www.fenics.org/hg/dev/syfi-scons. This will create a new folder
syfi-scons. Create an environment variable SYFIUPDATES that points to this
folder.

2. Clone a fresh copy of the SyFi hg repository and move into the newly
created folder. Copy the $SYFIUPDATES/syfi_reorganizer.sh script into this
folder and execute it.

3. Run 'scons' to compile and 'scons install prefix=<some_prefix>' to
install (you will need the latest simula-scons in PYTHONPATH).

Here is an example that works for me:

cd /tmp
mkdir src
cd src
hg clone http://www.fenics.org/hg/dev/syfi-scons
export SYFIUPDATES=`pwd`/syfi-scons
svn co https://svn.simula.no:40081/int/sc/simula-scons/simula_scons
export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`:$PYTHONPATH
hg clone http://www.fenics.org/hg/syfi
cd syfi
cp $SYFIUPDATES/syfi_reorganizer.sh .
./syfi_reorganizer.sh
scons
scons install prefix=`pwd`/local
scons enableTests=1
scons enableDocs=1

Note: I take no responsibility for any loss of data, so please back up
your data before running the syfi_reorganizer.sh script.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Johannes
