#elif defined(__AVR_ATmega644P__)

I am trying to get the SD card library to work with a Sanguino variant, and the pin mappins are contained within define directives like the one above.

The problem is, I don't know where in hundreds of source files AVR_ATmega644P would be defined, if anywhere.

Where is the specific chipset used defined?

It is not defined in the source files. It is defined by the IDE, as an argument to the preprocessor/compiler, when you select a particular board.

Thanks. I just found this explanation as well:
