Hello all,
We are developing a support file for our Mode19 engine, but would also =
like to make it so that it is not dependant on the main engine so that =
it can be used seperately if needed in other applications.=20
Here is the problem:
We need to detect if our engine's include file is loaded.=20
Is there any way to do this in Euphoria? This is like a conditional =
compilation.
Pseudo code to follow for example:
if engine include file is loaded then
use routine in graphics engine include file
else
do this routine instead
end if
We need to be able to check for this at run time so as not to duplicate =
the same assembly procedure.
This would also be helpful in cross platform development for =
DOS/Windows. For example:
if platform() =3D WIN32 then
include dll.e
else
do this for DOS
end if
Any help would be appreciated.
