We use constructs such as the following: bash: ==== if [[ $(uname -s) = CYGWIN_NT* ]] then # handle NT/2000 else # handle 9X/ME fi sh: == case `uname -s` in CYGWIN_NT*) # handle NT/2000 ;; *) # handle 9X/ME ;; esac make: ==== ifeq ($(findstring CYGWIN_NT, $(shell uname -s)), CYGWIN_NT) # handle NT/2000 else # handle 9X/ME endif > Also, it relies on the existence of uname of course... Which is a reasonable dependency -- at least for us.
