7 # AX_PROG_FLEX_VERSION([VERSION],[ACTION-IF-TRUE],[ACTION-IF-FALSE])
11 # Makes sure that flex version is greater or equal to the version
12 # indicated. If true the shell commands in ACTION-IF-TRUE are executed. If
13 # not the shell commands in commands in ACTION-IF-TRUE are executed. If
14 # not the shell commands in ACTION-IF-FALSE are run. Note if $LEX is not
15 # set (for example by running AC_PROG_LEX or AC_PATH_PROG) the macro
21 # AX_PROG_FLEX_VERSION([2.5.39],[ ... ],[ ... ])
23 # This will check to make sure that the flex you have is at least version
26 # NOTE: This macro uses the $LEX variable to perform the check, if it's
27 # empty it will failover to the $FLEX variable for backwards compatibility.
