(Sorry for newbie question but I couldn't find answer anywhere.)

Is there a way how to define a macro in IDE for certain compiler (all configurations) so it'll be passed down to the command line? My problem is: GCC on Win32 defines macro WIN32 while VC7.1/8 define macro _WIN32 and I do not want to complicate the code because of this.

(Since I do not know where to report bugs: external MingW 4.1.2 is installed without gdb.exe, TheIDE 2007.1 is installed w/o MingW, when I try to debug a successfully GCC compiled program IDE goes down with message "Error invoking gdb!" and then crash.)
