I have a project that uses automake to create the configure and all related files (I'm using autoreconf command to make all this stuff). So, I'm trying to set some conditional files to compile when the project is compiling for macOS (OS X), Windows or Linux. But it fails with the following:
$ autoreconf -i ..
src/Makefile.am:30: error: LINUX does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1
And the part containing the error in that Makefile.am is the following:
if OSX
butt_SOURCES += CurrentTrackOSX.h CurrentTrackOSX.m
endif
if LINUX
butt_SOURCES += currentTrack.h currentTrackLinux.cpp
endif
if WINDOWS
butt_SOURCES += currentTrack.h currentTrack.cpp
endif
My question is, how can I check if the OS is Linux? And if it's possible, is there a better way to check the OS in automake?
