# =========================================================================== # http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_compare_version.html # =========================================================================== # # SYNOPSIS # # AX_COMPARE_VERSION(VERSION_A, OP, VERSION_B, [ACTION-IF-TRUE], [ACTION-IF-FALSE]) # # DESCRIPTION # # This macro compares two version strings. Due to the various number of # minor-version numbers that can exist, and the fact that string # comparisons are not compatible with numeric comparisons, this is not # necessarily trivial to do in a autoconf script. This macro makes doing # these comparisons easy. # # The six basic comparisons are available, as well as checking equality # limited to a certain number of minor-version levels. # # The operator OP determines what type of comparison to do, and can be one # of: # # eq - equal (test A == B) # ne - not equal (test A != B) # le - less than or equal (test A <= B) # ge - greater than or equal (test A >= B) # lt - less than (test A < B) # gt - greater than (test A > B) # # Additionally, the eq and ne operator can have a number after it to limit # the test to that number of minor versions. # # eq0 - equal up to the length of the shorter version # ne0 - not equal up to the length of the shorter version # eqN - equal up to N sub-version levels # neN - not equal up to N sub-version levels # # When the condition is true, shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE are run, # otherwise shell commands ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. The environment # variable 'ax_compare_version' is always set to either 'true' or 'false' # as well. # # Examples: # # AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[lt],[3.15.8]) # AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[lt],[3.15.8]) # # would both be true. # # AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq],[3.15.8]) # AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[gt],[3.15.8]) # # would both be false. # # AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq2],[3.15.8]) # # would be true because it is only comparing two minor versions. # # AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq0],[3.15]) # # would be true because it is only comparing the lesser number of minor # versions of the two values. # # Note: The characters that separate the version numbers do not matter. An # empty string is the same as version 0. OP is evaluated by autoconf, not # configure, so must be a string, not a variable. # # The author would like to acknowledge Guido Draheim whose advice about # the m4_case and m4_ifvaln functions make this macro only include the # portions necessary to perform the specific comparison specified by the # OP argument in the final configure script. # # LICENSE # # Copyright (c) 2008 Tim Toolan # # Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification, are # permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright notice # and this notice are preserved.
