Par2: Compile switch based on whether compiling DLL or EXE
1998-05-16 -- Arnor Baldvinsson

>I have some code  I would like to include only if I am compiling an app as

Let's see...

#TEMPLATE(MyExtension,'My extension templates'),Family('ABC')
#EXTENSION(CheckTypeOfCompile,'Checking type of compile'),APPLICATION
#GLOBALDATA
Glo:CompileType     STRING(3)
#ENDGLOBALDATA
#AT(%ProgramSetup)
#CASE(%ProgramExtension)
  #OF('DLL')
Glo:CompileType = 'DLL'
  #OF('EXE')
Glo:CompileType = 'EXE'
  #OF('LIB')
Glo:CompileType = 'LIB'
#ENDCASE
#ENDAT

If you want to use this with Clarion templates, just change the
Family('ABC') to Family('CLARION')

Then you should be able to do something like this:

Case Glo:CompileType
  Of 'DLL'
  OfOr 'LIB'
    ! Execute DLL code or LIB (should normally be the same)
  Of 'EXE'
    ! Execute EXE code
End

Try it, let me know if it works:)
