Thanks a lot for all your comments! I had completely forgotten about
this... it was because I couldn't get the crosscompilation to
work otherwise. I'm sure this is the only problem.

I don't know how I would add autodetection for this to
the MLton makefiles. How would you do this autodetection?

I know of one method (which was used in the older SDL libaries).
It goes something like:

TARGET := $(shell uname | tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]')

ifeq ($(TARGET), WIN32)
# ...
else
# ...
endif

Do you think that would be a good way?


Cheers
