Isn't the usual thing to define HAS_XRANDR or something and #ifdef the the bits that depend on it? Not that I'm a fan of yet more ifdef, but it seems simpler than some dynamic loading malarkey. I like fltk for its bias toward static linking! _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
