Hey,
In my program, I want to check that the xserver-xorg version is >=
1.8.0. What way to do this is advised:
At runtime using XVendorRelease(), or do there exist different releases
with inconsistent numbering ? And should this be combined with a literal
match on XServerVendor() ?
At configuration time, PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XSERVER18, [xorg-server >=
1.8.0], FOO=bar, FOO=baz). But what if you want to discriminate
different versions, multiple PKG_CHECK_MODULES ? This would swamp the
number of _LIBS and _CFLAGS options...
Also, PKG_CHECK_EXSISTS() seems to ignore the version I provided, and
always sets FOO=bar.
Thanks,
Tias
