Is it possible to determine on which platform (GNU/Linux, Win32, OS X) my Vala app is running?
Is OS detection possible with GLib?

As Vala is a compiled language (as opposed to intermediate or interpreted) you can determine the platform using your favorite build tool and use conditional compilation.
Something like:
The build tool would have to pass
-D LINUX
, etc to the compiler.I would be careful and only do something like this as a last resort, because it can backfire. Usually it's better to use cross platform libraries that already handle the differences for you.
BTW: See also how this is done in C++.
