Running "configure" creates "Makefile" from "Makefile.in" and
"configure_vars" from "configure_vars.in".  Running make just calls
scons/scons.py.  So the real makefile is "SConstruct".  

If you need to fiddle with options to get it to compile, the simplest
way to do that is to fiddle with the options to "configure".  What is
the error you are getting?
