We use the following in tiOPF for Delphi and FPC.


------------------------------------------------------

function tiGetComputerName : string;
begin
  {$IFDEF MSWINDOWS}
  Result := tiWin32GetComputerName;
  {$ENDIF MSWINDOWS}
  {$IFDEF UNIX}
  Result := tiUnixGetComputerName;
  {$ENDIF UNIX}
end;


---------------------------------------------
uses
  unix;

function tiUnixGetComputerName: string;
begin
  Result := GetHostName;
end;

--------------------------------------------
 uses
    Windows;

function tiWin32GetComputerName: string;
var
  computerNameBuffer: array[0..255] of char;
  sizeBuffer: DWord;
begin
  SizeBuffer := 256;
  getComputerName(computerNameBuffer, sizeBuffer);
  result := string(computerNameBuffer);
end;
