   5 # SYNOPSIS
   6 #
   7 #   AX_COMPARE_VERSION(VERSION_A, OP, VERSION_B, [ACTION-IF-TRUE], [ACTION-IF-FALSE])
   8 #
   9 # DESCRIPTION
  10 #
  11 #   This macro compares two version strings. Due to the various number of
  12 #   minor-version numbers that can exist, and the fact that string
  13 #   comparisons are not compatible with numeric comparisons, this is not
  14 #   necessarily trivial to do in a autoconf script. This macro makes doing
  15 #   these comparisons easy.
  16 #
  17 #   The six basic comparisons are available, as well as checking equality
  18 #   limited to a certain number of minor-version levels.
  19 #
  20 #   The operator OP determines what type of comparison to do, and can be one
  21 #   of:
  22 #
  23 #    eq  - equal (test A == B)
  24 #    ne  - not equal (test A != B)
  25 #    le  - less than or equal (test A <= B)
  26 #    ge  - greater than or equal (test A >= B)
  27 #    lt  - less than (test A < B)
  28 #    gt  - greater than (test A > B)
  29 #
  30 #   Additionally, the eq and ne operator can have a number after it to limit
  31 #   the test to that number of minor versions.
  32 #
  33 #    eq0 - equal up to the length of the shorter version
  34 #    ne0 - not equal up to the length of the shorter version
  35 #    eqN - equal up to N sub-version levels
  36 #    neN - not equal up to N sub-version levels
  37 #
  38 #   When the condition is true, shell commands ACTION-IF-TRUE are run,
  39 #   otherwise shell commands ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. The environment
  40 #   variable 'ax_compare_version' is always set to either 'true' or 'false'
  41 #   as well.
  42 #
  43 #   Examples:
  44 #
  45 #     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[lt],[3.15.8])
  46 #     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[lt],[3.15.8])
  47 #
  48 #   would both be true.
  49 #
  50 #     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq],[3.15.8])
  51 #     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15],[gt],[3.15.8])
  52 #
  53 #   would both be false.
  54 #
  55 #     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq2],[3.15.8])
  56 #
  57 #   would be true because it is only comparing two minor versions.
  58 #
  59 #     AX_COMPARE_VERSION([3.15.7],[eq0],[3.15])
  60 #
  61 #   would be true because it is only comparing the lesser number of minor
  62 #   versions of the two values.
  63 #
  64 #   Note: The characters that separate the version numbers do not matter. An
  65 #   empty string is the same as version 0. OP is evaluated by autoconf, not
  66 #   configure, so must be a string, not a variable.
  67 #
  68 #   The author would like to acknowledge Guido Draheim whose advice about
  69 #   the m4_case and m4_ifvaln functions make this macro only include the
  70 #   portions necessary to perform the specific comparison specified by the
  71 #   OP argument in the final configure script.
