# =========================================================================== # http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/ax_lib_generic.html # =========================================================================== # # SYNOPSIS # # AX_CHECK_LIBRARY(VARIABLE-PREFIX, HEADER-FILE, LIBRARY-FILE, # [ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT_FOUND]) # # DESCRIPTION # # Provides a generic test for a given library, similar in concept to the # PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro used by pkg-config. # # Most simplest libraries can be checked against simply through the # presence of a header file and a library to link to. This macro allows to # wrap around the test s that it doesn't have to be recreated each time. # # Rather than define --with-$LIBRARY arguments, it uses variables in the # same way that PKG_CHECK_MODULES does. It doesn't, though, use the same # names, since you shouldn't provide a value for LIBS or CFLAGS but rather # for LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, to tell the linker and compiler where to find # libraries and headers respectively. # # If the library is find, HAVE_PREFIX is defined, and in all cases # PREFIX_LDFLAGS and PREFIX_CPPFLAGS are substituted. # # Example: # AX_CHECK_LIBRARY([LIBEVENT], [event.h], [event], [], # [AC_MSG_ERROR([Unable to find libevent])]) # # LICENSE # # Copyright (c) 2010 Diego Elio Pettenò # # This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it # under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the # Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your # option) any later version. # # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
