qmake unix define on macx


Message 1 in thread

Hi,

running qmake on the mac defines both "unix" and "macx" platform variables.
is this by design or should it only define macx ?

Mac OS X is Unix based, but has its own unique quirks, so both would  
apply.

OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is SUSv3, which is as "unix" as it gets. Previous versions
aren't SUS, so there ymmv.

Unix is a file system, not a GUI, so both unix and macx apply on the Mac.
unix and x11 apply on other Unix systems.

Hell no! Unix is an operating system, not a file system.

Yes, of course. I meant that is it NOT a windowing system. Macx and x11 are
windowing systems. Unix is an operating system that both macx and x11 use.

And of course, Mac OS X can also run X11 apps as well as 'native' GUI 
apps (themselves not that native, coming from NeXT and Mac OS <=9).
