os version at compile time

Rick Burge_3 — Thu, 19 May 2005 16:16:18 GMT

I've seen postings that describe how to get the os major version at compile time. I would like to get the whole version (11.11 or 11.23 for example) at compile time. Something akin to doing a uname -r.

Thanks,
Rick

Sorry I was not clear. When I compile some code I need for the code to be able to establish some compile time "defs" that describe the os platform.#ifdef hpux11.11 thenfoo = red#elseif hpux11.23 thenfoo = blue#endifI found a posting that that gets me hpux11 and hpux10.x and hpux11.x but is not specific enough to tell me hpux11.23 or 11.11.I mention uname because it does present the specific major and minor as an example of the information I am looking for. I suppose if I could figure out where uname picks up its information (from some h file somewhere?) maybe I could use the same definition it uses.Rick

I'm not sure why my last response was all bunched up I hope this one comes out better.Sorry I was not clear.

Or you could have the Makefile stage for the program do the uname -r and pass a -DHPUX1111, -DHPUX1123, etc. based on what it finds so that your #defines work from there. Seems simpler to me.

If possible, you'd be better off just doing
an #ifdef test for the actual features you
need instead of testing for 11.23 vs. 11.11
specifically.

Otherwise, if a patch changes or removes
a feature but doesn't change the HP-UX
version, your hypothetical #ifdef HPUX1123
won't help you.

What features from 11.23 are you looking
to test for?
