[Lazarus] RE : Determining OS

[Chris Kelling]

I am looking to distribute my software to pc, linux, unix, and mac users.
I'm using the registry in Windows, and was going to use systemd for linux.
>From what I'm gathering, it would be best to just do a simple config or ini
file in the root directory of the program.  I'm thinking that when creating
the installer, I will ask where the program will reside, and provide a
default that is platform independent.  That way all I need to do is provide
the deb or rpm for linux, the msi for windows, and what ever unix and apple
require (OS X is a flavor of Darwin, thus the debain packager maybe?)

[edited for brevity]

 

But the original person that asked the question should explain better what
he is looking for. It might not require to detect the distro itself for
example, or to allow the package builder to tweak things, or at the first
run to ask the distro from a list of supported distro and save it in
configuration files.

It's all depends on what he requires to do.
