Is there something that speaks against using autotools for all that? I've written autotools setups that work with gcc, MSVC, etc, across CygWin, OS X, various Unix variants, GNU/Linux, etc, and found the underlying tools to have evolved nicely for that in the last few years, offer some pretty neat features (cross-compiling for windows from GNU/Linux for example), and most importantly, take care of the whole platform specific linker flag zoo accross all sorts of operating system and toolchain combinations. cheers, dalibor topic
