Windows or Unix environment

I am using a function that determines the amount of free disk space available on any drive. My problem is that I first need to determine whether or not I am in a windows environment or a unix environment. From here, I will be able to call the particular fuctions that determine the disk space.

Any suggestions.

You're programming under Windows or Unix, not both. So when compiling the program under Windows, it will not work under Unix.

If you want to use the same source code, you can wrap the system specific functions in

#ifdef WIN32
//windows stuff
#endif

#ifdef UNIX
//unix stuff
#endif

but as Shiro has pointed out, it'll need compiling in each enviroment.

Are you able to call a unix function from a windows programming environment?

Only if it has been ported to the windows environment.

If you want cross platform code, then Java is still your best option.

PROBLEMS ALL RESOLVED...THANKS FOR SUGGESTIONS!
