So what are we supposed to do then? grep for the autoconf
version that generated the configure script in the rules?
======================================================================
AUTOCONF_VERSION:=$(shell grep "Generated automatically using autoconf" \
configure | sed -e 's/^.*autoconf version //g')
HAVE_NEW_AUTOMAKE:=$(shell if [ $(AUTOCONF_VERSION) -ge 2.13 ]; then \
echo 'YES' ; fi)
ifneq($(strip $(HAVE_NEW_AUTOMAKE)),)
confflags += --build $(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)
ifneq ($(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE), $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE))
confflags += --host $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)
endif
else
ifeq ($(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE), $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE))
confflags += $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)
else
confflags += --build $(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --host $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)
endif
endif
======================================================================
Or something like that? This is painful in the extreme.
