using win or linux?

[mattia]

Hi,
what should i do to know which OS my application is running on?
I have to check if it's running on Windows or Linux machine, is there anything better then enum QSysInfo::WinVersion?
thx

you can also use those preprocessor defines:

Basically, your application should always be running on the OS on which it has been compiled (except for versions of course) so preprocessors should do here. Alternatively, if you don't want to mess with preprocessors everywhere just define a global method returning an enum (e.g {Linux, Mac, Windows, ...}) whose return value would be set through preprocessors. And finally, I doubt there is a clean method to determine whether the app might be running on an emulator (eg Wine...)
