Hi Kevin I thought about this some more and concluded that messing with the autoconf stuff might break other extensions that worked now. After reading more, particularly http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/ 009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_02.html , I settled on a change in wx/ string.h. It seems to me that if the host is IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 compliant then the HAVE_STRCASECMP..... macros should be ignored and strings.h included. So I added more alternative conditions to wx/string.h:46 thus: #if defined(HAVE_STRCASECMP_IN_STRINGS_H) || _POSIX_C_SOURCE == 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE == 600 This definitely works on MacOS X 10.4 and I don't see how it can break on other systems. Cheers Bill Northcott PS I still have the issue from my other posting which Adriano posted in September. _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
