I'm trying to update the code which checks for the prerequisites for Sage. I've implemented some tests for Solaris versions, which
1) Check if the version is older than Solaris 10. 2) Advise people to upgrade if their hardware is sufficiently new 3) Tell them they can't upgrade if its too old. I'd like to do similar or the same for Darwin, but are unsure what the version numbers mean. If I run a 'configure' script on bsd.math, it reports: build_os='darwin10.0.0' Does anyone know what this parameter is on other versions of OS X? (if you run the configure script from prereq-0.5 in Sage 4.1.2 it will tell you in config.log that is created). I thought Sun had strange names for the operating systems (Sun 5.10) is Solaris 10 for example, but with Macs it seems even more confusing, but that's probably since I do not know much about Macs.
