Description

It might be nice to have a way in CoCoA-5 to know which external libs are actually present.

History

#1 Updated by John Abbott almost 9 years ago

Some ideas:
  • a function ExternalLibs which returns a list of strings
  • a function HaveExternalLib which expects a string and returns a bool

Done.
Just fiddling with the string returned by

VersionInfo().CompilationDefines

JAA and AMB think that there is little need to have a similar function in CoCoALib since there are the CPP defines COCOA_WITH_NORMALIZ and so on.

It would also be nice if there were an indication of which version of each external library is present. The ability to do this depends on whether the external library actually makes such information available...

This has been in feedback for 9 months.

The current solution fits the KISS philosophy. If something more sophisticated is needed later then we can open a new issue.
