I wonder, how do you detect the size of void* with the preprocessor in C? The preprocessor doesn't understand sizeof. > Testings for API functions being present would be arch independent. That depends, doesn't it? There's no guarantee that you have the same external libraries available in several different flavours. > On windows don't you just ship the answers as if configure had run? That's because there's no "configure" tool for Windows. I surely hope SCons will be able to help here, because the various hacks necessary to customize the Windows build are not tasty. -- Brane
