Hi Andy,

The answer is you don't. The Mono compiler does not provide any defines to identify the current operating system. Depending on what you need to do, you may want to use something like Environment.OperatingSystem, or if you need to make a distinction between OS X and Linux/Unix, go deeper and P/Invoke uname(2). Why exactly do you need to differentiate between the OSes?
