Hi!

There is a pascal wrapper for a library.
The library comes in different versions.
The library is specialized per operating system.

How can I make fpc pick the right OS- and release version of the library?

I know I could fiddle something using ifdef's, but since the rtl is build around selection per os and cpu there seems to be a better way (regarding include files?).

TIA,

You've known the answer, use include files! The compiler information (i.e. target platform) can be obtained via fpc -iXXX (see fpc -h for XXX values). Use that value in a script (i.e. Makefiles) to subtitute directory names. That's what the compiler do all this time.

I see.

So doing that way would lead to move the dependencies out of the pascal source into some form of build script. I'll think about what fits my needs better.

Thank you very much,
