To build and install libkml from source you first need to install SCons version 0.97.
For many people, building libkml from source will be as simple as typing:
scons
Use the PREFIX argument as follows to install libkml in a location other than the default:
scons PREFIX=/your/root install
You may also use LIBDIR and INCDIR to specify completely separate lib and include directories."
I think this would benefit a LOT of developers out there... any ideas?
