Summary0007838: CDash OS information is not ideal on Mac OS X
DescriptionCDash reports at the top of a dashboard page various OS information. For example:

http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=201967 [^]

shows:

OS Name: Darwin
OS Platform: Power Macintosh
OS Release: 9.5.0
OS Version: Darwin Kernel Version 9.5.0: Wed Sep 3 11:31:44 PDT 2008; root:xnu-1228.7.58~1/RELEASE_PPC

This information is not ideal. Very few people use plain Darwin as opposed to the full Mac OS X (Darwin is the open source part, available separately).

I think the following would be more useful:

OS Name: Mac OS X
OS Platform: Power Macintosh
OS Release: 10.5.5
OS Version: 9F33

You can get that info by running 'sw_vers' in the terminal. Example:

$ sw_vers
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.5.5
BuildVersion: 9F33

See its man page.

The current gory details of the kernel version and not so helpful, because everyone use OS X, not Darwin, and its kernel is never updated separately.

Additionally, it seems unable to detect the compiler. Ex:

http://www.cdash.org/CDash/buildSummary.php?buildid=440701 [^]

shows:

Compiler Name: unknown
Compiler Version: unknown

This is most unfortunate since both 10.5 and 10.6 each ship with several compilers: gcc 4.2, llvm-gcc, and clang. All 3 respond to the --version argument:

On 10.6.1 with Xcode 3.2 for example:

$ clang --version
clang version 1.0 (http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/tags/Apple/clang-23 [^] exported)

$ gcc-4.2 --version
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)

$ llvm-gcc --version
i686-apple-darwin10-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5646) (LLVM build 2118)

This can be closed as the bug is actually in CTest, not CDash. See issue 0009663.
