Hi

I am using:
 - Lazarus 2.0.6 64bit
 - FPC  3.0.4

I wonder if there is a way to set a package to only be Required under
Linux. I mean, in the code, I can use something like {$IFDEF UNIX}
{$ENDIF}. I wonder if there is an option to do it with my required
package?

Let say I need to load package_hello_world under linux. Instead, in
windows, I am using user32.dll ...  package_hellow_world is not
compatible windows... Do I have to remove/add the dependency every
time I change OS or can I do something to make it automatic?

Once I needed that too, but I did not find any solution for this, so I
made work around for this.
Modify your package installation unit like this:
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i unit
your_lib;// put the code below in your unit after reserverd word
unit....; {$IfNDef UNIX} interface implementation end.// if your os is
not  unix all code after "end." will ignored from compiler.
 {$IfEnd}  // .. here is the normal code from your lib.

Thank you Soner. If there is no other option I will check for that
one. Kind of not a fan since I will have to modify the package every
time it's upgrade.Can also become a problem if I open the source of my
app:(
