You can take a look at the packaging if you like (which would really be a blast from the past because the package hasn't been updated for a few years). There really isn't a way to set the soname in scons unless the SConstruct things have provisions for setting LDFLAGS and such already. In fact, one of the major problems with scons was the lack of DESTDIR support and the need to manually implement it. Based on my experience with scons at that time, I think it wouldn't be too far from the truth to compare scons with raw Makefiles. It's such a crappy build system I don't even know why people even use it. Good luck. -- Kind regards, Loong Jin
