Easing the pain... Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Greetings, While attemting to port some software written in DJGPP to other platforms I came across the following problem. Some functions like strdup are not available on some platforms. So when GNU autoconf detects that it can set a particular #define, which says that strdup is not on that system. Then you can supply your own strdup function. What I am specificaly interested in is wether anyone knows any code or library which automatically would enable it's own strdup, strcpy etc versions on compile time and would make porting of software much easier using autoconf, rather than me writing all the replacement strdup, strcpy and other missing functions etc... Thanks, Grendel Hi, I'm a signature virus. plz set me as your signature and help me spread :)
