Hi,
I'm sorry for asking what must be a trivial question to this list, but
I've used up all my ideas, and am relatively new to autoconf and m4.
If from the comand line shell sh I excecute the comand:
sh-2.05b$ boost=1.32.0; echo $boost | awk -F. '{print $1}'
1
Then I get the expected result '1' echoed to the screen., $2 => 32 and
$3 => 0
When I place the same in a configure macro as below, run my bootstrap
script, and then excecute the resulting configure script
($boost_min_version == 1.32.0):
WANT_BOOST_MAJOR=`echo $boost_min_version | $AWK -F. '{print $1}'`
echo $WANT_BOOST_MAJOR
$1 => 1.320
$2 => 1.32.0
$3 => gives the below error:
awk: syntax error at source line 1
context is
{print >>> { <<<
awk: illegal statement at source line 1
awk: syntax error at source line 2
What have I missed when transfering a command from the comand line, into
my configure scripts like this?
Many thanks
Chris
