I'm using the following to set paths based on O/S (Ant 1.3), and it appears
to work but it does mean you have to find a file that's uniq to your O/S and
you have more than 1 properties file (ntssab.properties for NT, and
unixssab.properties for UNIX)!
<target name="setProperties">
<echo message="Set base environment variables from
properties."/>
<property file="${ssab.propertyFile}"/>
</target>
<target name="validate">
<available property="ssab.propertyFile"
value="ntssab.properties" file="c:\autoexec.bat"/>
<available property="ssab.propertyFile"
value="unixssab.properties" file="/dev/null"/>
</target>
<target name="init" depends="validate,setProperties">
<tstamp/>
<property name="ssab.distributionLatest"
value="${ssab.distributionDirectoryRoot}/latest"/>
<property name="ssab.distributionArchive"
value="${ssab.distributionDirectoryRoot}/${DSTAMP}${TSTAMP}"/>
<!-- Create the build directory structure used by compile
-->
<mkdir dir="${ssab.classesDir}"/>
<mkdir dir="${ssab.libDir}"/>
</target>

Subject: Any way to test if on unix/linux, mac, windows, etc?
Hi,
I have built scripts for windows only, and now I need a "cross-platform"
script. Almost everything in the script should work fine to build my java
projects, but I do have the problem of "paths". I am wondering if there is
a way to conditionally check and/or set the path based on the platform it
is being run on?
Thanks.
