Good point. I'm officially an idiot. Screw that then - I'll just use different files. Thanks for the help though.

#ifdef _WIN32 #include <windows.h> #endif ... common practice in winsock/bsd socket portability. Kinda vague, but you get the idea.

That's what I was going for... thought you meant you couldn't do that. So what's the #define for Linux? Is there anything that I could use, or do I just use #else?

_WIN32 for Windows, unix for *BSD/Linux/UNIX, and __OS2__ for OS/2? That's what I remember, though I can't find any references for it.

It works! It works! Well, it works on Windows anyway... haven't tested it on Linux yet, but as it's a simple #else command - nothing fancy - it should be fine. The Linux library hasn't been written yet anyway. Now I just need to find out how to work threads - anyone got any links?

You have to compile your program separately for each platform, so you can just invent your own define and test it
e.g. compiling on Windows cl -DWIN32 fred.cpp compiling on Linux gcc -Dlinux fred.cpp etc. On Unix/Linux make usually uses a variable called CFLAGS or CPPFLAGS and CC when doing compiles so you can sometimes have a makefile that works on multiple platforms but still detects the OS - something like. $(CC) $(CFLAGS) fred.cpp I build my programs to run on everything from Windows CE and MS-DOS through to Windows and AIX, and find this technique works well. |

That was the plan - I'll see if it works when the Linux sockets library is up and running, and I find someone who knows how to use Linux

If you're trying to write portable software, just use the SFU software pack from Microsoft, since it does come equiped with the BSD socket library. It runs a UNIX subsystem natively and you wouldn't really have to learn how to use Linux, just learn some software(of which you're most-likely somehwat familiar with i.e. gcc, gdb...)
