QMAKE_HOST.mac_version ?

[davecotter]

i know on mac, that QMAKE_HOST.version will return the version of DARWIN running under macOS, but i could have sworn i found a way to get the macOS version out of QMAKE_HOST, somehow, but now no matter how deft my google-fu, i'm unable to find it.

CAN i get the macOS version out of a var at the time my qmake file is parsed?

i was able to get it using $$system(sw_vers -productVersion)! Thanks for the tip!

i'm surprised it should be so difficult to just fetch the version of macOS that the qmake file is being run on.

Weirdly, it is rarely necessary to get this info.

You should be able to do it in a platform-dependent way, like:

macos {
OS_VER=$$system("sw_vers")
message("System version is "$$OS_VER)
}
