Projects that use autoconf are expected to detect build prerequisites and libraries.
This usually leads to a set of ad hoc de facto m4 macros that deal with various details like API and path incompatibilities, much of which is platform and os and distro dependent. Various standard tools (like pkgconfig) to find these details have been devised; meanwhile there is still a great deal of diversity, particularly between platforms like linux and *BSD, that often makes portability more difficult than it needs to be. One useful approach -- particularly when maintaining a project like RPM -- is RPM_CHECK_LIB that does all the usual operations and permits a compact specification of 3rd party library details.
