I don't know under which systems APPLE is true but it's not OSX. Brandon put that in the wiki: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/index.php?title=CMake_Useful_Variables&diff=9126&oldid=9113 It must be some rare case, at least in KDE and I think also in all Kitware projects it is assumed that if it is APPLE, then it's also OSX. > Also, are MINGW and MSYS variables "official"?; Yes.

UNIX is TRUE in msys systems, right? I don't know. Under cygwin UNIX is true. I think this is the only environment under Windows where UNIX is true (but I'm not sure, can't test). A grep in Source/ leads to cmMakefile.cxx, and there UNIX is only set to true under Windows if it's built for cygwin. > 2.

Yes, WIN32 is true under all Windows variants. Alex _______________________________________________ CMake mailing list [email protected] http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
