Rajesh,
Although I don't use it in the makefile, I do use it in a
wrapper script that I run to set up the development
environment for one of my projects. Of course, this could
be used in the makefile too, as part of a shell command.
You could create a dummy dependancy that is always run
before any real tasks, and the dependency runs the correct
shell statements to setup what ever you need.
Here's an example from a c-shell script. Once this has been
run, you can then make the correct platform-dependent choices.
It's also easy to add other platforms to the list.
Hope this helps a little,
--Carl

Subject: "uname" in makefile
Hi all,
I am just curious whether using uname in makefile will make our life
easier.
I am trying to modify the makefile with "uname" so that it figures out
OS-type itself and correspondingly does platform specific things. Any
thoughts/comments?
