I'm not sure I understand what you mean. You can have the same effect either by using -u option, or simply -D_SOMEDEFINE_ and #ifdef _SOMEDEFINE_ / #include "this.ch" / #include "that.ch" / #endif Actually, even my suggestion could be done differently, and maybe it'd be a better solution (I kept thinking about this after sending the mail ;), to cover the case I've cited, the app needs some kind of library to complement the header. The latter definitely needs help from the make tool. So, I'd feel it simpler to move the header logic also to the make tool level, and use such #define to communicate package presence. This starts to be a bit 'configure' like functionality, and could use a system which defines packages. I'll think about it further. It can get quite complicated if we want to automatize dependencies... In the shade of these, my initial idea is pretty broken :) Maybe something like this: hbgtwvg.hbp --- uses=hbwin xhb prgflags=-DHAVE_GTWVG libs=gtwvg libpaths=C:\libs autodetect=yes --- 'autodetect' would lookup all 'libs' on 'libpaths' (plus normal libpaths), would then do the same with 'uses' .hbp files, and if self and dependent libs are available, it would add -DHAVE_GTWVG to the command line. Just quick thoughts. But to acheive this functionality I have to include a .ch file > in every prg in my project, a hell of the job. > > May be I am missing something about command line switches... This seems -u, but even better (without side-effects) is to use a central header and add the new one to just that one file, problem solved forever. I use such central header for all my libs and apps.
