The only way that I know of detecting x86_64 is the way I did for the WMHints on AMD64: "#ifdef LONG64". That won't work while we are configuring though. As I said, I'm new to some of these tools and configure is one of them. Any ideas here people? Please chime in. > > I'm working on other things for Eterm right now including an MMX > > port to AMD64.
