Compiler commands

A fake variable could be defined with $LET:

Code: (Select All)

$LET SOMETHN=5
$IF DEFINED SOMETHN THEN
' do this
$ELSE
' complain about "somethn"
$END IF

Note that you cannot leave out the "$LET", especially the dollar sign if you expect a compiler directive.

Otherwise could check for the OS the program is being compiled on:

Code: (Select All)

$IF WIN THEN
' do your Windows routines with confidence here
$ELSEIF LINUX THEN
' Linux-only stuff here
$ELSE
' assume it's for MacOS then
$END IF
