How to addin specific package if cake running in windows

Question

I have cake file that I want to run in Windows and Ubuntu.

In Windows we need Cake.EntityFramework addin and in Ubuntu we do not need it.

So I want to write some platform specific addin like below

#if WINDOWS
#addin nuget:?package=Cake.EntityFramework&version=0.3.0
#endif

But I do not know how to do it?

This should do the trick: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5920028/5457940 — Piotrek, Oct 29 '21 at 10:48
No, your link is just work for C++, My problem is for cake and running in C# context. — sorosh_sabz, Oct 29 '21 at 10:50

Cake pre-processing for #addin, #tool, #load, #module, etc. does not support conditionals (#if). I'd suggest splitting your Cake files to multiple, one windows.cake, one linux.cake and one shared.cake. You can load shared logic using the #load directive.

Is it possible to add this feature in Cake, or it is not possible with current design of Cake? – sorosh_sabz Oct 29 '21 at 11:32
Not feasible to implement at this point. Also, last time I checked this wasn't either supported in vanilla C# scripting (csx). – bjorkstromm Oct 29 '21 at 11:36
