Bug #986
GFan: require version newer than 0.6
Description
Anders reports that gfanlib
version 0.6 contained a bug.
We should either require that gfanlib
be newer than 0.6, or print out a warning if it is not.
History
#1 Updated by John Abbott over 7 years ago
Anders let us know by email (2016-11-28) about the problem in gfanlib
.
I have already asked how a shell script can determine the version of gfanlib
so that CoCoA's configuration process can detect is there is an old version of gfanlib
and give an appropriate error/warning.
Marked as low priority; anway we must wait for a new official release of gfanlib
.

2019-10-30 Update: I now have gfanlib-0.6.2 (released 2018-09-28 according to GFanlib website).
However it still seems to be impossible to write a small program which can print out the version of Gfanlib.
We should write to Anders Jensen.

2020-01-28 I have written to Anders. He is willing to put a GFANLIB_VERSION
CPP macro in future versions (starting from 0.6.2, I think).
That would be enough for us.
I am hoping that the macro will have a nice value too.

I have not found any suitable macro in the gfanlib sources (v.0.6.2).
Without Anders's help we cannot really do much to resolve this. Postponing!
