<p>So what if a Linux user has an <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">otool</tt> command in his or her path that does something completely unrelated (or a Mac user with <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">ldd</tt>)? Those commands are reserved on their respective platforms, but not elsewhere. IMHO making this a runtime check could make sense if the same binary would run on both platforms, but that's not the case ...</p>
<p>Just making sure we cover all bases.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R36 Ark</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D6001" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D6001</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>rjvbb, Ark, elvisangelaccio<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>elvisangelaccio, kde-utils-devel, tctara<br /></div>
