Platform strings

Platform strings are used in box.json to specify different variants of strings depending on the platform UmBox is run on. This is useful for cross platform run a build scripts.

A plaftorm string can have two different forms - either a string or an object:

python run.py

or

{
    "windows": ".\umbox\umka\umka.exe main.um",
    "posix": "./umbox/umka/umka main.um"
}

You can also use the unknown platform as a fallback for unsupported platforms:

{
    "unknown": "echo This platform isn't supported",
    "linux": "./run.sh"
}

The supported platforms are:

• unknown
• posix
• windows
• emscripten

They are the same as in the os::Platform enum (see os.um).
