--qDbXVdCdHGoSgWSk Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I saw that the new version of `gettext' (0.12.1) that is used by the ports collection broke the www/aria port: http://bento.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-4-latest/aria-1.0.0.log The reason for this is that some of the port's source files contain C++ comments with non-ascii characters. These where ignored by the old version of `xgettext' (0.11.5) but the new one needs an extra command-line option (--from-source) in order to cope with those files. Since this problem might happen in more than a few ports, a clean solution is needed imo (one could of course add patches for each and every troublesome comment, but I think we don't want that). Passing that command-line option to the new version of `xgettext' looks like a good approach. I was able to extract its version number with the following command (I am sure there is a simpler solution, but well. I found that one :-) xgettext -V | awk 'NR =3D=3D 1 { gsub (/\./, "", $4); \ gsub (/^0*/, "", $4); print $4}' =20 This yields 115 for the old 'xgettext' and 121 for the new one. What I would like to do is to pass the result of that command into a variable (with back-ticks, i.e. XGETTEXT_VER=3D`xgettext ...`) and compare that variable _numerically_ as in -------> XGETTEXT_VER=3D`xgettext -V | awk 'NR =3D=3D 1 { gsub (/\./, "", $$4); gsub (/^0*/, "", $$4); print $$4}'` =2Einclude <bsd.port.pre.mk> =20 =2Eif ${XGETTEXT_VER} > 115 MAKE_ENV+=3D -DXGETTEXT_FLAGS=3D" --from-code " =2Eendif =20 foo:=20 @echo ${MAKE_ENV} <------- But unfortunately, XGETTEXT_VER is always interpreted as a string: make foo "Makefile", line 37: warning: String comparison operator should be either =3D=3D or !=3D "Makefile", line 37: Malformed conditional (${XGETTEXT_VER} < 115) Unterminated {} clause "" "Makefile", line 37: Error in archive specification: "" "Makefile", line 39: if-less endif "Makefile", line 39: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue I searched the archives, but I still don't know how to handle this...
