I just assumed you'd have a genuine (!) windows.h knocking about. Though I think you're being a bit harsh, I did say: >I've just noticed that WINVER is not defined in the GNU version of >windows.h. So all you had to do was look in Microsoft windows.h and BAM! there it is. At the very top of windows.h (right after the multiple-inclusion guard), this idiom appears: #ifndef WINVER #define WINVER 0x0400 #endif In mmsystem.h, lots of lovely new functionality is switched on thus: #if(WINVER >= 0x0400) And this new stuff is what I couldn't get at (initially). I've never written a patch before, but I'll give it a go... Any pointers? - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
