Bletch. Unless I'm much mistaken that means that WinCE SDK therefore isn't a full ANSI conformant C library. [Which it is allowed to be - IIRC compilers without libraries are "allowed"] I can't remember all the terms for compilers that are conformant but don't have the libraries but I am surprised that the SDK isn't a full implementation of compiler&libraries. Part of me therefore thinks that NOT putting an ifdef around the include and having other systems fake errno.h if they need to. > Basically for embedded environments I have to fudge stuff because the > config runs, for example, on my Win2000 box where I have Microsoft > Embedded Visual Tools, but it generates a config for Win32 (not for WinCE). > I then was just hand patching to fix stuff.

That doesn't feel right either. Nicholas Clark -- ENOCHOCOLATE http://www.ccl4.org/~nick/CV.html
