[Openmcl-devel] Determining OSX version at runtime

[peter]

So failing Daniel's valid requirements (OS version via ugly string stuff):

(defun os-version-values ()
   "Returns values of major and minor System version"
   (let* ((string (software-version))
          (1st-. (position #\. string)))
     (values (- (read-from-string string nil nil :end 1st-.) 4)
             (read-from-string string nil nil :start (1+ 1st-.)
                               :end (position #\. string :start (1+ 1st-.))))))

(defun darwin-p ()
   (equalp (software-type) "Darwin"))

(defvar *macos-10.6.4-p*
   (when (darwin-p)
     (multiple-value-bind (major minor) (os-version-values)
       (and (eq major 6) (eq minor 4) T))))

(defvar *macos-leopard-p*
   (and (darwin-p) (eq 5 (os-version-values)) T))

(defvar *macos-snow-leopard-p*
   (and (darwin-p) (eq 6 (os-version-values)) T))

#|(if *macos-leopard-p* (pushnew :macos-10.5 *features*)
   (if *macos-snow-leopard-p* (pushnew :macos-10.6 *features*)))|#

;; etc
