Normally, that may be true. However, the project I am
working on will need different directories for
different platforms and possibly (not positive yet)
different cpu´s because of vast differences in code.
Parts of the project will be providing GUI interfaces,
and at present it is planned to use WIN32 API´s on
Windows, while using something else on Linux/Unix as I
haven´t gotten a library like Qt approved yet (and I
don´t know if I´ll be able to). Is there a better way
still, to solve this problem? I´m all ears.

TIA,
