[PB4.6B4] OSversion()

[buzzqw]

try this code on a Windows machine (tested on win7)

Code: Select all

If OSVersion()<=#PB_OS_Linux_Future
    MessageRequester("OS","Linux")
EndIf

get the same message if executing

Code: Select all

If OSVersion()<=#PB_OS_Windows_Future  
  MessageRequester("OS","Windows")
EndIf

the first command should be true only on a Linux box...

BHH

P.S. i compile the code on windows and linux box

This is a runtime function, you have to use compilerdirectives:

Code: Select all

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Linux
If OSVersion()<=#PB_OS_Linux_Future
  MessageRequester("OS","Linux")
EndIf 
CompilerElse
If OSVersion()<=#PB_OS_Windows_Future 
  MessageRequester("OS","Windows")
EndIf 
CompilerEndIf

How the hell should that work? It would mess up all calculations in the world.

As #PB_OS_Linux_Future isn't equal with #PB_OS_Windows_Future one of them is always smaller than the other one.

thanks ts-soft!

the help manual abot osversion don't mention this "compilerdirectives"

You should only read, what is written in the help.

#PB_OS_Windows_NT3_51
#PB_OS_Windows_95
#PB_OS_Windows_NT_4
#PB_OS_Windows_98
#PB_OS_Windows_ME
#PB_OS_Windows_2000
#PB_OS_Windows_XP
#PB_OS_Windows_Server_2003
#PB_OS_Windows_Vista
#PB_OS_Windows_Server_2008
#PB_OS_Windows_7
#PB_OS_Windows_Future

No linux, right? So on a windows platform, it will not output linux constants.
In the linux help there will be only #PB_OS_Linux_XXX constants.
OSVersion() is only to get the version of the used OS, not to check against
mac/linux/win. And that is, what the help says. If you want to know, what
OS is used, you need the compiler constant #PB_Compiler_OS. And if you
only want to know, if it is linux or windows, you doesn't need OSVersion()
and your program will maybe work in the future.

Code: Select all

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Linux
  MessageRequester("OS","Linux")
CompilerElse
  MessageRequester("OS","Windows")
CompilerEndIf

When im running that code on this Mac Book Pro ... it says windows ... and it's right.
