I should add that I am willing to do the work to setup pkgconfig files + tests (or use a similar tool, if one exists) for cctbx as having such tools would make it significantly easier for others to install my tools that depend on cctbx.

I also proposed a patch to create pkgconfig files. Although I think that a simple replacement builder in scons would be a better solution to creating pkgconfig files[1]. As for SCons. It's a nice build system but not that powerful like GNU Autotools. It does not support elementary things like so-versioning yet but it's more focused to be cross-platform. But I learned it's very flexible and you can do a lot. Also look here[2]. kind regards Radi [1] http://www.scons.org/wiki/SubstInFileBuilder [2] http://www.scons.org/wiki/UsingPkgConfig
