Hi, Using pkg-config is the documented way to detect the correct library to link against for libsystemd, see: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/sd-daemon.html It's trivial to only use pkg-config (via the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro) when systemd integration is requested via --enable-systemd, and to not fail in the absence of the pkg-config binary when systemd support is not requested. And systemd only runs on Linux, where pkg-config is normal and shared libraries are expected to ship .pc files. The only downside is that the source for the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro (usually shipped in /usr/share/aclocal/pkg.m4 in the "pkgconfig" (.rpm) or "pkg-config" (.deb) package) needs to be available on the machine where autoreconf is run. But ordinarily users don't run autoreconf themselves, so this is not too onerous. So IMHO just use pkg-config, it's nicer to write one line of autoconf instead of 50 :-) -- Robert Edmonds edmo...@debian.org
