Emulator Issues #34

Create a configure and Makefile

Description
Of course, this is not a high priority request since there is no good
linux-support atm anyways but for those who like testing Dolphin as much as
I do and run linux as the host operating system it would make life way easier.

Yeah, please do :-)
I personally have zero useful automake experience (I have only failed, when trying to
set up automake for a project in the past), so I'm not gonna do it.

A configure script does not necessarily have to be made with autoconf. Since you
have a modern build system based on SCons, why not have a script named "configure"
that runs a SCons target that probes the host system?
SCons has a set of autoconf-like checks, but it runs them at the moment you declare
them, unlike the build itself which creates a dependency graph before it starts
executing anything. As a result, the autoconf-like checks cannot be run in parallel
(scons -j option), which is a shame with multicore CPUs becoming the norm.
I think the ideal solution would be to build a dependency graph of checks in SCons.

Well I have no idea how to write configure scripts. If you do, well, just step
forward and do it.

- Status changed from Accepted to Won't fix
since scons scripts seems to work well now, and we can easily add any needed tests
this is no longer relevant.
