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.
