For most C/C++ code you need system search paths, which depend on the compiler actually used. Finding user-provided headers isn't enough.
For actual preprocessing, that's true. I'm not sure, you really want system headers in the list of implicit dependencies (and that means, I'm really not sure). Anyway, the paths to the system headers are highly platform- and tool- dependent (as you have mentioned) and should be communicated through the build environment, IMHO. cheers, aa -- Andreas Ames | Programmer | Comergo GmbH | ames AT avaya DOT com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Stuttgart Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart - HRB 22107 Geschäftsführer: Andreas von Meyer zu Knonow, Udo Bühler, Thomas Kreikemeier
