<p>Let us consider adding some code to our project that depends on features the
target platform may not have. For this example, we will add some code that
depends on whether or not the target platform has the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">log</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">exp</span></code>
functions. Of course almost every platform has these functions but for this
tutorial assume that they are not common.</p>

<p>In the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">MathFunctions/mysqrt.cxx</span></code>, include <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">cmath</span></code>. Then, if the system has

lets us try compiling simple code with the required dependency prior to
the true source code compilation. The resulting variables <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">HAVE_LOG</span></code>
and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">HAVE_EXP</span></code> represent whether those dependencies are available.</p>
