They can just use PKG_CHECK_MODULES(check, check,,) which will query the CFLAGS/LDFLAGS with pkg-config, and does not need a rerun of aclocal + autoconf. That is what the AM_PATH_CHECK macro recommends too: AC_MSG_WARN([AM_PATH_CHECK() is deprecated]) AC_MSG_WARN([[use PKG_CHECK_MODULES([CHECK], [check >= 0.9.4]) instead]]) With that in mind, I would add the appropriate CFLAGS and LDFLAGS to check.m4 too. It's probably not the nicest thing out there, but it's not worth the effort to update something deprecated in a better way. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
