[Scratchbox-users] detecting scratchbox from Makefile

[Jussi Hakala]

The most reliable thing would be probably to test the presence of a 
scratchbox-like directory layout [1] or if env output contains any SBOX_ 
prefixed variables [2] (but this may lead to ambiguity between sb1 and sb2).

Regards,

   Jussi

[1]
if [ -e /targets/links/scratchbox.config ] ; then
   ...
fi

[2]
if env | grep -q ^SBOX_ ; then
   ...
fi
