That correct. But I have to define some types using external libraries. > In any case, you are not helping here.

Shall I write a test-programm to compile those header-files with g++ and put AC_CHECK_PROGS into configure.in to check if the build-system has installed a C++-compiler. Isn't that too exaggerated? Who wants to install a C++-compiler just to make a dummy compilation using a few header-files? Regards, Jacob -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
