What flag for conditional compile to GUI or CLI [message #49857]

could be this is a stupid question:
the flags are defined in upp & to access them must include upp-headers
(giving chicken / egg problem)
so must define some local flag / boolean that is set/unset when upp-headers are used
and this local flag / boolean must then be checked in my code

BUT!: the build-flag 'GUI' is used when building gui-apps, and not available? when cli-app? please advise

----
What flag(s) must I use to conditional compile for either GUI or CLI?
I've tried:

//#if defined(GUI)
//#if defined(GUI_X11) || defined(GUI_WIN) || defined(GUI_WIN32) || defined(GUI_GTK)
//#if defined(GUI_APP_MAIN)
//#if defined(GUI_WIN) || defined(PLATFORM_X11)
#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
using namespace Upp;
	void PRINTSTRING(const std::string &s) { PromptOK(DeQtf(s.c_str())); }
#else
	void PRINTSTRING(const std::string &s) { std::cout << s << std::flush; }
#endif

Each flag name is prefixed with "flag" e.g. flagGUI, flagDEBUG. Hence you can test for these in source code with #ifdef or #if defined(flagNAME).
example :

#ifdef flagGUI
#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
#endif

Thank you!

We NEED proper documentation. Do you know if there is any effort
under way to produce it? I am very willing to spend a couple of
hours per week to help if there is someone in control who can tell
me what & how to do it.

Hello Slashupp,

You can directly contact with me via Slack. If you do not have account - please follow the steps on this documentation page. Making documentation for U++ is easy, all you need to do is edit T++ files. However to start doing this you need the committer privileges on our SVN trunk. To obtain that privileges, please contact Mirek directly (via forum message or on Slack).

Sincerely,
Klugier

U++ - one framework to rule them all.
