Or you could just use the autoconf stuff that is already there...
In configure.in:
--
AC_CANONICAL_HOST
case "${host}" in
*-*-solaris*) platform=SOLARIS ;;
*-*-sysv5*) platform=UNIXWARE ;;
*-*-linux*) platform=LINUX ;;
[etc...]
*) platform=UNKNOWN ;;
esac
AC_SUBST(platform)
AC_SUBST(osver)
--
Run autoconf and the produced "configure"-script will substitute all
@platform@ and @osver@ instances in the Makefile.in templates to
whatever the config.guess and the above case switch find out about the
platform.
Not that I am pushing autoconf here or anything. ;-)
Regards,
Martin.
