Hello, a very naive review of many configure.[in,ac] to find out how do others do makes me ask this question :
Why the library developer does not provide a consistent way to check for its library with automake/autoconf ? The bad thing is that the library user will have to do the job of 1/ searching the good way, 2/ implement the check in configure.ac. Adding to that the check could be implemented in many different ways : an autoconf macro, calling a script (sdl-config for example), using pkgconfig... That's wonder me :)))) But maybe I'm too naive ;)))) Side question : a good distro could enforce that each library will provide a pkgconfig file for example, or at least a .m4 file ? Best regards, Michel
