Different source code options for different OS!

[Lebostein]

At the moment it is annoying to create executables on different OS with single code:

Code: Select all

; UseIcon = engine_v3.icns
; Executable = engine_v3.app

or

Code: Select all

; UseIcon = engine_v3.ico
; Executable = engine_v3.exe

That should be better:

Code: Select all

; UseIcon_mac = engine_v3.icns
; Executable_mac = engine_v3.app
; UseIcon_win = engine_v3.ico
; Executable_win = engine_v3.exe

From the manual:

Code: Select all

CompilerSelect #PB_Compiler_OS
  CompilerCase #PB_OS_AmigaOS
    ; some Amiga specific code
  CompilerCase #PB_OS_Linux
    ; some Linux specific code
CompilerEndSelect

But you can't compile a Mac app from a Windows PC,
if that's what you're after? Cross-platform compilation
is not possible, nor coming (it's been requested before).

Cross-platform compilation
is not possible, nor coming (it's been requested before).

...and though it sounds great, it's not really practical because you need to conduct your testing on the actual platforn targeted.

I assume Lebostein meant the compiler settings (Icon, Version, "applocation", etc.) for each OS - not the code itself.
Currently you need to redefine these settings every time if you switch the OS.

I recommend to use a Purebasic project in order to define a "compile-target" for each OS.
