I am autoconfiscating a project involving other developers. I need a
portable way of finding a header (it's an OpenGL header, glut.h, but
that's just a specific example). On my machine, it's
in /usr/include/GL, but on other machines it may be elsewhere,
like /usr/include. The only thing I know to do is just list them in
AM_CPPFLAGS, and find them by trial and error. That seems a tad kludgy
to me. I expect I'll have a similar issue with libraries once I get
over this hurdle.
Hi Daryl,
There are two conventions generally available:
${package}-config cflags ; ${package}-config link|ldflags
sometimes, those arguments have a hyphen or two in front of them.
See if OpenGL has one of these. More recently, "pkg-config"
has started becoming popular, but for now it must be a backup
solution:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/
In the end, though, you will have to create a list of places to look.
