Thread: how to get MAJORVERSION in meson

Hi

I tried to add meson support to plpgsql_check. As template I used https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petere/plsh/refs/heads/meson/meson.build

Unfortunately, for tests I need to know MAJORVERSION. In makefile I use

ifndef MAJORVERSION
MAJORVERSION := $(basename $(VERSION))
endif

Is there some similar pattern for meson?

Regards

Pavel
