[okl4-developer] Starting OKL4 development... success

[David Mirabito]

HI Geoff,
    To help you out with your immediate question, the build-system 
builds all object files, libraries and intermediary files in to the 
'build' directory, so to 'make clean' you can just
   
    rm -rf build
However hopefully SCons does a decent enough job of dependency checking 
that this should not be required very often.

It might be useful to note here that you can use BUILD_DIR=my/build/dir 
on the command line of a build to have it build somewhere else. This 
could be handy if, for instance you want to keep a couple of 
configurations around and don't want to wait for SCons to do a complete 
rebuild each time you switch back and forth.

As for python versions, 2.51 is OK. The issue seemed to be a bug in the 
Python 'struct' module, which was introduced in 2.5 and then 
subsequently fixed. It was a obvious error that crashed out to a 
backtrace, so if the build seems good, than chances are it is :)

Cheers,
   - David
