Random thoughts

• there is a file libyzis/portability.h you might want to check
• cmake documentation (currently:http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html) has a list ofr "Variables That Describe the System" (check for this exact sentence)

cmake files

Inside cmake files (CMakeLists.txt) the following defines can be used

• MSVC : when compiling on windows using the Microsoft Virtual C++ compiler
• MINGW : when compiling on windows using mingw32 compiler
• UNIX
• APPLE

Examples:

 if (MINGW)
     # do something if we are using MINGW
 endif (MINGW)

 if (NOT UNIX)
     # do something if we are NOT on Unix
 endif (NOT UNIX)

Defines

Inside the code, the following defines can be used:

• YZIS_WIN32 when compiling under windows (either mingw32 or msvc)
• YZIS_WIN32_GCC when compiling under windows/mingw32
• YZIS_WIN32_MSVC when compiling under windows/msvc
• YZIS_UNIX on unix
• YZIS_APPLE on MacOsX

Examples:

 #ifdef YZIS_UNIX
         // do something if we are on Unix
 #endif

 #ifndef YZIS_APPLE
         // something if we are NOT on Apple MacOS X
 #endif
