Hi,
I dont think that will work, you are detecting the environment at runtime,
the conditionals are evaluated at compile time.
A possible solution would be define a preprocessor in the project
configuration, if you have a different project definition file in each
machine you can do what yuoui want, how factible this is would depend of
your project, if you add a new file or a new reference to one of the
projects you will need to do the same thing in the others, that is the only
( HUGE ) drawback I see. you can copy the source code though.
It probably is not a solution but may be a work around, it's the best I can
think of right now.
Cheers,
