calling a script from a makefile
Hello,
As advertized, I would like to call a script from a makfile to glean some information about the OS. What I more or less need is the OS name and version (CentOS-5.9, OPENSUSE-12.2, Cygwin, etc). I think I can get the rest of what I need from uname. The OS name and version doesn't seem to reside in any consistent place over the various Linux flavors. I also need to get the version of the gnu c compiler, since I think that may also require a bit more involved scripting than I would like to try out of make.
The main question is weather I can call a script out of make and have it return a value for a variable.
Something like,
OS := $(shell ./script_name)
Thanks,
LMHmedchem
