Thanks Athira and Arnaldo. It is a little strange to me to be using
the shell to do a version number test. The intent was to be doing
these in the code:
#if LIBRTRACEEVENT_VERSION >= MAKE_LIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION(1, 5, 0)
vs
...
LIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION_WITH_TEP_FIELD_IS_RELATIVE := $(shell expr 1 \*
255 \* 255 + 5 \* 255 + 0) # 1.5.0
ifeq ($(shell test $(LIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION_CPP) -gt
$(LIBTRACEEVENT_VERSION_WITH_TEP_FIELD_IS_RELATIVE); echo $$?),0)
CFLAGS += -DHAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT_TEP_FIELD_IS_RELATIVE
endif
...
#ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT_TEP_FIELD_IS_RELATIVE
I'm a little selfish as I'm maintaining a bazel build and a single
version number to maintain is easier than lots of HAVE_... tests. I'm
happy to follow Arnaldo's lead. I think the test should also be
greater-equal rather than greater-than:
