Hi All.
I started my adventure with --PureLibrary finally and came across the following.
I love to enclose my tests in include files with

Code: Select all

 CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_IsMainFile  ;-{·} TEST Area 
 CompilerEndIf

My observation is that it doesn't work so well.
How do you do it? Separate Files?
Maybe the command should also work within the created libraries?
This is how I do it now:

Code: Select all

 CompilerIf 0 ; #PB_Compiler_IsMainFile  ;-{·} TEST Area 
 CompilerEndIf

TIA for your thoughts.

As well as setting '0' ...
