C++ Cross Platform Dynamic Libraries; Linux and Windows

Question

I need some help on writing cross-platform code; not an application, but a library.

I am creating a library both static and dynamic with most of the development done

Answer 1

You can pretty easily do it with #ifdef's. On Windows _WIN32 should be defined by the compiler (even for 64 bit), so code like

#ifdef _WIN32
#  define EXPORTIT __declspec( dllexport )
#else
#  define EXPORTIT
#endif

EXPORTIT int somefunction();

should work OK for you.
