Hi!
How do I write a code so that will be compiled in Win32 and Linux enviroment with no changes in a code? Do I have to use the "#if", "#endif" preprocessor commands? If yes then please tell me how. And how to determine in which enviroment the user compiles the code?
simplest way:
#if defined(LUNIX)
/* linux specific code */
#elif defined(WINDOWS)
/* windows specific code */
#elif etc...
/* final case */
#endif
often, you can write code which works under both naturally... this can get very messy. if the project is complex enough, it's probably better to have seperate source trees
Alright. But will the VC++ .NET recognize the __Linux__? What about other OS's (Windows, UNIX, ...)?
I don't have this library.
Is there any other way to detect OS?
I suppose you could have it check for the Windows registry and look for a specific phase like the version. As for the library, all I'm finding on Google.com are links to information on it and not any actual downloads.
According to those sites, its a GNU C library, so it might be included with GCC someplace (Linux perhaps).
