Electronic Music 411 - how to compile Csound on Linux

scons is a 'make' alternative and its said to be better but so far I fail to see any improvements. Usually compiling stuff on Linux just means typing
./configure
make
sudo make install

in the console from within the folder with the source code of the desired software.
'Scons' is programmed in Python.

I guess this is the same argument as using something like gentoo. Its compiled specifically for your hardware / software setup and as such should run faster and more stable. Although im always sceptical about this sorta thing and tend to stick to binary software releases

Oh you guys know that some software projects out there don't use autoconf to do all their thingamujigs, so don't bet on ./configure to always work.

i think in ubuntu you just need to apt-get csound and it's in.
