The pkg-config command is what helps here. The dbus-devel package
ships a pkg-config file (dbus-1.pc):
$ rpm -ql dbus-devel | grep pkgconfig
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/dbus-1.pc
This allows you to get the CLFAGS or LIBS like so:
$ pkg-config --cflags dbus-1
-I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include
$ pkg-config --libs dbus-1
-L/lib -ldbus-1
There are macros available for autoconf/automake to detect and set
these things for you as well. For example, libgpod has this in its
configure.ac file (used to generate the configure script):
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBGPOD, glib-2.0>= 2.8.0 gobject-2.0)
This tests for glib-2.0 greater than or equal to 2.8.0 and
gobject-2.0. If they are not found, there is an error and configure
stops. If they are found, the variables LIBGPOD_CFLAGS and
LIBGPOD_LIBS are set.
Hope that helps,
