Just idly though, I've never yet encountered a situation where: if(APPLE) ... elseif(UNIX) ... endif()
Wasn't sufficient. The only time I've come close is having to build automake projects with different flags depending on the os base, and then (since it only worked under cygwin or msys anyway) if(WIN32) ... elseif(APPLE) ... else ... endif worked fine. ~ Doug.
