how can i make autoconf probe for a parallel port?
Any particular OS, or "all of them"? :)
On a Linux box, I'd probably dig around in /proc to find a way to list
parallel ports and then write the shell code necessary to make sure the
/proc entry exists and contains the expected info.
You might consider checking for that kind of thing at runtime instead.
I used to check for /dev/poll at configure time, but
(especially when cross-compiling!) that got me in trouble.
I now check at runtime and am much happier.
