I suppose we don't. One way to find out would be to commit just this bit +# We need the $(eval) function, which is available in GNU make 3.80. +# That also happens to be the version where the .VARIABLES variable +# was introduced, so this is a simple check. +ifndef .VARIABLES +$(error GNU make 3.80 or newer is required) +endif with a $(warning) instead, and let it run for a bit. -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
