Or, just use code like this in your C files: #if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__CYGWIN__) Win32 or Cygwin #endif If you do want to detect Cygwin in a configure script, then you just do AC_CANONICAL_HOST, and then: case $host_os in *cygwin* ) do cygwin stuff;; * ) do other stuff;; esac Max. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
