[mapserver-dev] OT: Help is configure

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Hi all,

Could someone familiar with configure scripts help me with how to detect 
which version of code I'm trying configure and build with. I have a C 
application that links with mapserver.a and occasionally I run into 
changes like below that I need to detect and set an appropriate DEFINE 
so I can code around this if #ifdef blocks.


5.0.3
int msQueryByPoint(mapObj *map, int qlayer, int mode, pointObj p, double 
buffer)

5.2.0
int msQueryByPoint(mapObj *map, int qlayer, int mode, pointObj p, double 
buffer, int maxresults)



I have a very basic automake, autoconf script that works ok, but I need 
to figure out how to add code to check for the above or to check if the 
mapserver version is 5.2.0 or greater.

Any help, suggestions or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
   -Steve W
