A very simple macro (maybe still buggy) that should be useful to look for bison: http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_prog_bison.html You could adapt (it should be really easy) the following macro to extract the bison version: http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_prog_perl_version.html And finally compare that version with the required version using the following one: http://autoconf-archive.cryp.to/ax_compare_version.html Cheers, Francesco > I think it would be nice if we made this available to the autoconf > people, because, others are going to need this. > > Thanks, > Bob Rossi > > > _______________________________________________ > help-bison@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison > _______________________________________________ help-bison@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
