Hello.
I need to write a macro, which will be expanded by various versions
of autoconf, including 2.13 :(
Obviously, things, the macro does, must be accomplished differently.
Could you advice, what is the best way to detect in macro, which
autoconf version is currently expanding, and expand macro
conditionally ?
My advice would be to abandon your plan. It's not useful.
I can not choose the autoconf version. The macro is for Mozilla, and
they stuck at autoconf-2.13, sic!
I can feel the pain, nevertheless ...
I can only attempt to make a "forward
compatible" macro.
... I can only reiterate my advice.
... mozilla missed ca. 10 years of development.
Trying to stay bugward-compatible with a piece of software nobody wants
to look back at, is doomed to fail.
The best approximation of what you can try to make their configuration
compatible to a very recent version of autoconf and to abandon
supporting earlier autoconf-versions.
