-
- There are two wxWidgets ports to Mac OS. One of them, wxMac, exists in two versions:
- Classic and Carbon. The Classic version is the only one to work on Mac OS version 8.
- The Carbon version may be built either as CFM or Mach-O (binary format, like ELF)
- and the former may run under OS 9 while the latter only runs under OS X.
- Finally, there is a new Cocoa port which can only be used under OS X. To
- summarize:
-
- @li If you want to test for all Mac platforms, classic and OS X, you
- should test both @c __WXMAC__ and @c __WXCOCOA__.
- @li If you want to test for any GUI Mac port under OS X, use
- @c __WXOSX__.
- @li If you want to test for any port under Mac OS X, including, for
- example, wxGTK and also wxBase, use @c __DARWIN__ (see below).
-
- The convention is to use the @c __WX prefix for these
- symbols, although this has not always been followed.

- @section page_cppconst_featuretests Feature tests
-
- Some library features may not be always available even if they were selected
- by the user. To make it possible to check if this is the case, the library
- predefines the symbols in the form @c wxHAS_FEATURE. Unlike
- @c wxUSE_FEATURE symbols which are defined by the library user (directly
- in @c setup.h or by running configure script) and which must be always
- defined as either $0$ or $1$, the @c wxHAS symbols are only defined if
- the corresponding feature is available and not defined at all otherwise.
-
- Currently the following symbols exist:
-
- @beginDefList
- @itemdef{wxHAS_LARGE_FILES, Defined if wxFile supports files more than 4GB in size.}
- @itemdef{wxHAS_LARGE_FFILES, Defined if wxFFile supports files more than 4GB in size.}
- @itemdef{wxHAS_POWER_EVENTS, Defined if wxPowerEvent are ever generated on the current platform.}
- @itemdef{wxHAS_RADIO_MENU_ITEMS,
- Defined if the current port supports radio menu items (see wxMenu::AppendRadioItem).}
- @itemdef{wxHAS_RAW_KEY_CODES, Defined if raw key codes (see wxKeyEvent::GetRawKeyCode are supported.}
- @itemdef{wxHAS_REGEX_ADVANCED, Defined if advanced syntax is available in wxRegEx.}
- @itemdef{wxHAS_TASK_BAR_ICON, Defined if wxTaskBarIcon is available on the current platform.}

- @itemdef{wxUSE_XXX,
- if defined as $1$, feature XXX is active, see the
- @ref page_wxusedef (the symbols of this form are always defined,
- use @if_ and not @ifdef_ to test for them)}
- @itemdef{WX_PRECOMP,
- is defined if precompiled headers (PCH) are in use. In
- this case, @c wx/wxprec.h includes @c wx/wx.h which, in turn,
- includes a number of wxWidgets headers thus making it unnecessary to include
- them explicitly. However if this is not defined, you do need to include them
- and so the usual idiom which allows to support both cases is to first include
- @c wx/wxprec.h} and then, inside @ifndef_ WX_PRECOMP, individual
- headers you need.}
- @itemdef{_UNICODE and UNICODE, both are defined if wxUSE_UNICODE is set to @c 1}
- @itemdef{wxUSE_GUI,
- this particular feature test macro is defined to $1$
- when compiling or using the library with the GUI features activated,
- if it is defined as @c 0, only wxBase is available.}
- @itemdef{wxUSE_BASE,
- only used by wxWidgets internally (defined as $1$ when
- building wxBase code, either as a standalone library or as part of the
- monolithic wxWidgets library, defined as $0$ when building GUI library only)}
- @itemdef{wxNO_RTTI, is defined if the compiler RTTI support has been switched off}
- @itemdef{wxNO_EXCEPTIONS,
- is defined if the compiler support for C++ exceptions has been switched off}
- @itemdef{wxNO_THREADS,
- if this macro is defined, the compilation options
- don't include compiler flags needed for multithreaded code generation. This
- implies that wxUSE_THREADS is $0$ and also that other (non-wx-based) threading
- packages cannot be used neither.}
- @itemdef{WXMAKINGDLL_XXX,
- used internally and defined when building the
- library @c XXX as a DLL; when a monolithic wxWidgets build is used only a
- single @c WXMAKINGDLL symbol is defined}
- @itemdef{WXUSINGDLL,
- defined when compiling code which uses wxWidgets as a DLL/shared library}
- @itemdef{WXBUILDING,
- defined when building wxWidgets itself, whether as a static or shared library}

+@section page_cppconst_msvc_setup_h Library Selection for MSVC
+
+Microsoft Visual C++ users may use the special @c wx/setup.h file for this
+compiler in @c include/msvc subdirectory. This file implicitly links in all the
+wxWidgets libraries using MSVC-specific pragmas which usually is much more
+convenient than manually specifying the libraries list in all of the project
+configurations. However sometimes linking with all the libraries is not
+desirable, for example because some of them were not built and this is where
+the symbols in this section can be helpful: defining them allows to not link
+with the corresponding library. The following symbols are honoured:
+
+ - wxNO_ADV_LIB
+ - wxNO_AUI_LIB
+ - wxNO_HTML_LIB
+ - wxNO_MEDIA_LIB
+ - wxNO_NET_LIB
+ - wxNO_PROPGRID_LIB

+ - wxNO_EXPAT_LIB
+ - wxNO_JPEG_LIB
+ - wxNO_PNG_LIB
+ - wxNO_TIFF_LIB
