Right now I have a program that will die if certain headers can't be found.

The issue of getting these headers has practically become an FAQ for
the libraries installed. ("You forgot to download the *-dev packages of
the library, which contains the headers!")


I'd like, if possible, GCC to barf with my OWN error, stating something along these lines, rather than just:

src/myprog.c:15: foo.h: No such file or directory


I realize I can spit out an error message using the C "#error" directive, but is there a simple (and portable) way of TESTING?

C doesn't include any standard way of doing this. This is the kind of thing you use configure for.
