Okay, I tried that in the meanwhile and compilation worked.

I'm just test-driving Philippe's autotuner, where this is part of the build process. Either way, thanks for the clarifications :-) Best regards, Karli ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
