Hello, I started using automake/autoconf recently and it works out very well. I also developed some macros for external packages (--with-xxx) which are required in our software. Mostly looking at 'examples' in the autoconf macro archive, I found that a useful macro only checks whether something can be found or not. The actual package configuration process should then decide how it behaves, depending on whether the package is required or optional. I have two scenarios: - if a certain package is not configure, a certain subdirectory should not be built - if a required package is missing, the configuration process should stop with an error How would these best be taken into account in configure.in/Makefile.am?
