Matthias meant to say that autotools don't check for a defined "environment" (like "Foobuntu 10.4 32-bit"), instead it checks for various features it uses. This is not a suggestion to use autotools but rather a suggestion that if you for example wanted to talk to the session manager, check which of the known session managers is on DBus rather than checking if the desktop is running KDE4 or GNOME3. -- Patryk Zawadzki I solve problems. _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
