how comes the line above uses [] and here you use ""? is that intentional?
(I keep forgetting whether there's a difference between the two in m4)

Yeah, I'm not that sure about using a m4 define. It is one way to do
it, but the quotes do look suspicious.

FWIW, Mesa uses a big list of common dependency variables too, maybe
copy that approach?

CC'ing Quentin and Emil, they probably know what's good.

In all honesty I don't know which one is better, so any
info/references will be appreciated. For the time being (personally)
I'd stick with the following as it reads a bit easier ;-)

WAYLAND_PREREQ_VERSION="1.10.0"

This form ↑ (shell variable) is the most common one I know.

AFAICT, Autoconf is not using pure m4 quotation, so the " are part of the macro definition, thus the pkg-config call will be:
pkg-config --cflags wayland-server >= "3"
It works because pkg-config handles the extra quotes.


Unrelated to quoting: shouldn’t we keep the client/server split? In the current state, we require an higher server version, so it doesn’t matter, but if clients rely on a newer feature, does it make sense to force that same server version even though we can disable clients?
