Do you still need WIN32 and WIN64 symbols in .vcproj project files?
Outside of the .vcproj / .dsp project files, as far as I can tell those are still referenced in:
- HostSupport/include/ofxBinary.h line 9
- include/ofxCore.h line 25
- Examples/DrawSuite/drawsuite.cpp line 15
- Examples/Overlay/overlay.cpp line 15
- Examples/Custom/custom.cpp line 11
- cmake/OpenFX.cmake lines 6, 17
- Documentation/sources/Guide/Code/NMakefileCommon line 22
Of course it is possible that some of the OpenFX client code ends up depending on these WIN32 / WIN64 symbols, so you may end up having to keep defining them, but it would be preferable (?) if the OpenFX code just used the pre-defined _WIN32 symbol?

Ah, I should remove those too. Will do. |

Looks good, avoiding custom symbols that look like system defined ones is always good.

There's no need to have our own
WINDOWS#define; Windows always predefines_WIN32. Tested with our CMake/Conan build on Mac & Windows. This should clean things up in preparation for publishing a proper Conancenter recipe for OpenFX that doesn't cause users of the recipe to get WINDOWS definitions in their builds.
