Here is another solution that depends only on the availability of Octave itself: majorversion := $(shell echo 'printf (strsplit (OCTAVE_VERSION, ".") (1) {1})' | octave -q) minorversion := $(shell echo 'printf (strsplit (OCTAVE_VERSION, ".") (2) {1})' | octave -q) microversion := $(shell echo 'printf (strsplit (OCTAVE_VERSION, ".") (3) {1})' | octave -q) Rafael ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
