Synopsis

AC_SET_VERSIONLEVEL(VARNAME [,VERSION])

Version

1.1 (2001/10/31)     guidod @ ac-archive-0.5.39

Author

Guido Draheim <guidod@gmx.de>

Description

if the VERSION is ommitted, shellvar $VERSION is used as defined by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE's second argument.

The versionlevel is the numeric representation of the given version string, thereby assuming the inputversion is a string with (maximal) three decimal numbers seperated by "."-dots. A "-patch" adds a percent.

typical usage: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(mypkg,4.12.3) AC_SET_VERSIONLEVEL(MYPKG_VERSION) AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(MYPKG_VERSION, $MYPKG_VERSION, [package version])

(this macro shall superced AC_DEFINE_VERSIONLEVEL at some day)

the version code has three digits per part which I feel is the most natural encoding - it makes it easier to be printf'd anyway

examples:
        3.0-beta1     3000001
        3.1           3010000
        3.11          3110000
        3.11-dirpatch 3111000
        3.11-patch6   3110006
        2.2.18        2020018
        2.0.112       2000112
        2.4.2         2040002
        2.4.2-pre     2040003 
        2.4.2-pre5    2040003
        5.0-build125  5000125 
        5.0           5000000
        0.30.17       30017
