Back to Imakefiles... This is pretty much the worst approach that could be taken. One always has to check for features, not for platforms. So for e.g. finding a C compiler you have something like if os.platform == 'win32': cc = cl elif os.platform == 'linux2': cc = gcc in mind? > I use to build a library for windows using the VC++6 and on Debian with gcc. Whohaey. So 'multiplatform' means 'runs on one Unix flavour (Linux, no less...) and WinNT'? This is the kind of thing I would use a manual Makefile for.
