Inspecting on which platform apps are running

[Allanon]

Hello all,
I was wondering how can I know from my script if my program is running on Linux PPC or Linux x86 ( the same applies to MacOS too), from the docs about GetVersion() it should report only the generic platform, so I'm not able to know exactly on which platform I am. Any suggestions?

Sorry, not possible. Could be added easily of course if you need it...

Hi Andreas,
if it's a simple addition for you it could be very handy to download and run external utilities for the right hosting system

Okay, I've added a "CPU" field to the return table of GetVersion(). You can query this to find out on which CPU Hollywood is currently running.

Thank you Andreas!

Would it also be possible to add support for "MachineName" under AmigaOS4.1 that way you see if your script is running on an X1000 (faster) or an A1200 with a Blizzard (slower).

In python its amiga.getmachine()

so you can make a little script called whichamiga.py

--snip--
import amiga
print (amiga.getmachine())
--snip--

Returns as examples

BlizzardPPC/A1200
AmigaOne X1000

Sorry, that's too much work. It's easy to find out the machine name on OS4 but it's getting much more complicated on classics and all the other platforms
