Re: Building on OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard

Re: Lost keyboard focus after import (Ubuntu) [patch]

What does "#if defined( __WXGTK__ )" do? It will only compile the code between '#if' and '#endif', if '__WXGTK__' is defined (somewhere else before in the code). For example: #define HELLO #if defined(HELLO) printf("Hello!"); #endif This will compile the printf code and "He...
