David Woodward created THRIFT-4232:
--------------------------------------
Summary: ./configure does bad ant version check
Key: THRIFT-4232
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4232
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build Process
Affects Versions: 0.10.0
Environment: OSX 10.12.5, running ant 1.10.1
Reporter: David Woodward
On line 18869 of the configure script, it checks that the ant version is >=
1.7. It uses some kind of string comparison. This breaks for my current ant
version (1.10). It seems to think that 1.10 is not >= 1.7. I think this is
because it's comparing strings without taking into account what the strings
actually mean. Something like this might be a possible patch:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4023830/how-compare-two-strings-in-dot-separated-version-format-in-bash
This should be fixed because it means that people with new ant versions can't
build the java thrift library.
Also it should be checked to see if other parts of the configure process are
using these kinds of faulty version checks.
