Eclipse or VC2008

I also defined a preprocessor symbol IBM = 1 is for Windows. Now how
should my code look like?
//if (IBM == 1){
alutInit(0, NULL);
//}
seems wrong.

It would work, of course. Generally if you have a macro defined at all,
and want to check whether it's defined or not during compilation
(preprocessing, actually), you use

    #ifdef IBM
       ... // conditionally compiled code
    #endif

If you define it all the time and want to check the value, you do

    #if IBM==1
       ...
    #endif

Just open your favorite C++ book and look for the chapter on its
preprocessor.

I won't bother any users to install on Mac/Linux any libs. Should i
try to include those sdl/openal etc. in my main application folder?

I don't know the answer to this. I don't think it has anything to do
with the C++ language.

Well Linux users
might be ok but i doubt Mac users to be very happy?

You should probably ask Mac users. Again, this is not a C++ language issue.
