improve configure script's ability to find erl_driver.h
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-162
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-162
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build System
Reporter: Adam Kocoloski
Priority: Minor
Hi, if I configure and install Erlang with a custom --prefix=/path/to/erlang,
CouchDB's configure script finds `erl` and `erlc` from the environment, but it
usually needs to be told about the location or erl_driver.h:
./configure --with-erlang=/path/to/erlang/lib/erlang/usr/include
It'd be nice if the configure script could check that location automatically,
e.g. determining /path/to/erlang by stripping bin/erl off the path to `erl`
that it found earlier.
Alternatively, I think --with-erlang ought to be modified to take the path to
the base of the Erlang installation, rather than the exact path to the location
of the folder containing erl_driver.h. Best,
Adam
