OSE42 vs WO4

[Jan-Willem de Bruijn]

Sorry, but I cannot find it quickly enough to my taste in the WO4 docs:

To be able to compile the same source code for both OPENSTEP Enterprise 4.2
for Windows NT (or Mach/UNIX) and WebObjects 4.0.1 (Yellow Box, MacOS X),
which predefined macro(s) can I use to distinguish between them?
As in:
#ifdef OSE42
makeObjectsPerform:
#else
makeObjectsPerformSelector:
#endif

Thanks in advance,

Jan-Willem

I've used WIN32 for the difference between OS 4.2/Mach and OS 4.2/NT.
Basically, NT parts are #ifdef-ed with WIN32 and the Mach parts are
#else-ed.

I have no idea about WebObjects - I've never used it.

Thanks,

There really aren't any predefined macros that distiguish between OSE4.2
and WOF4. However, in OmniBase we've created some #define's that will let
you distinguish between the two. The source code for OmniBase is available
at http://www.omnigroup.com/community/developer/sourcecode/ under the Omni
Source License. The code that you are looking for is in SystemType.h in
the top level of the project.

Hope this helps

Out of interestm, what do people do about the paths in the Makefiles
to enable them to compile between the two systems ? This is a constant
source of irritation to me...
