Well, my point was that they need to be _shared_. By which I meant "contributed to the autotools project, so _all_ Ada projects have direct access to them". I haven't looked, but it sounds like the Ada macros in the above projects are all different from each other. So the problem now is to get the various Ada projects that use autotools to agree on a standard set of macros. Hmm, do you suppose the ARG would accept that task :)? -- -- Stephe
