[CLAM] Problem with compiling simple examples with scons

[David García Garzón]

You solved the first problem in the right way. If you don't have Qt and you 
are not planning to use it, just comment the related lines.

Regarding the second problem, sconstruct expects a 'main.cxx' file to be in 
the current folder. You can change that at the line where the mainSources 
variable is defined.

Regards.
David.
