Well, it depends on what you're trying to do. One option is to look in the .FEATURES variable, which was added in 3.81. See the GNU make manual for details. If the feature you're looking for is listed there then that's considered the best/safest way to test for it, rather than looking at the version string. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
