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?

at the end I wrote (based on Postgres's meson build).

https://github.com/okbob/plpgsql_check/blob/master/meson.build

Is there some other solution?

Regards

Pavel

Unfortunately this is not available for extensions - the extensions are
independent projects and take any information from pg_config.
