Not patching writing from scratch. IMHO it's better to have control over installation from the spec file rather than a badly written make install that puts everything in the wrong places. If you're interested in scons and libraries have a look at ffado that's the only library I know of that uses scons to build most use autotools. When I finally have time to switch from scons to cmake, I've already patched SConstruct and the SConscripts heavily, I can get the library versioning and assembly correct. Scons doesn't cater for libs, you have to write everything yourself, whereas cmake does. Collada has SConstruct and CMakeLists.txt, when I originally built it there was only scons and of course vcproj2cmake.rb for visual studio. --- Does this make sense?
