On one of my machines uname -s return MINGW32_NT5.1 On another it says MINGW32_NT6.1
And why would that fix it? The output of -a is *defined* to be the same as -s followed by other stuff. The reference page I'm looking at also points out that the -s string can contain embedded blanks.
Exactly, the sed script pulls the last token from the line, which is Msys on all my Mingw systems.
If you want to do it another way we could possibly pass the PORTNAME from the global make file.
