libplatform

libplatform is a platform check library

Build

Build with GNU Makefile

Dependence

• GNU Make
• GNU/Linux commands: cat, mkdir, install, rm, echo

Make and Install

make
make install

The build results are in the 'build' directory.

Build on Windows

Dependence

• cmd.exe on Windows

Make

call make.cmd

make.cmd does not support install. The build results are in the 'build' directory.

Build with CMake

Dependence

• CMake (version >= 3.0)

Make

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

The build results are in the 'build' directory.

Build with Python

Dependence

• Python 3.x or Python 2.x
• Python base libraries (platform, shutil)
• Python build-in libraries (sys, os)

Make and Install

python tools/build.py
python tools/build.py install

Try 'python tools/build.py' --help for help

Build on MS-DOS

MS-DOS does not support long file names, so include output 'include\platform_predef.h' will be replaced to 'include\libplat.h'

Dependence

• MS-DOS shell (COMMAND.COM)

Make and Install

cd tools
call dos-make.bat

dos-make.bat will chdir to repository root directory automatic. dos-make.bat does not support install. The build results are in the 'build' directory.

Do not use dos-make.bat for build on Windows!

Usage

After install, you can use libplatform in C/C++

#include <platform_predef.h>
/*On MS-DOS, <platform_predef.h> is renamed to <libplat.h>*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    if(__has_windows__)
    {
        printf("Compile in Windows!\n");
    }
    else
    {
        printf("Compile non-Windows!\n");
    }
    printf("Target arch:%s\n",__arch__);
    printf("Target arch name:%s\n",__arch_name__);
    printf("Pointer width:%d\n",__POINTER_WIDTH__);
}
