Hi all, I am having a problem when trying to build a program conditionally. It is a problem with the macro that detects a specific library (TIFF). This macro makes a definition of HAVE_LIBTIFF: AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LIBTIFF) AM_CONDITIONAL(AM_TIFF, test $have_tiff = yes) Those lines are within an m4 macro and my question is... Will AM_TIFF be usable from my Makefile.am?: OPTIONAL_PROGS = if BUILD_MPI OPTIONAL_PROGS += MPIArt MPI_WBP endif if BUILD_OGL OPTIONAL_PROGS += Phan3D endif if AM_TIFF OPTIONAL_PROGS += Tiff2Raw endif Or, on the other hand, should I make another AM_OPTIONAL in my configure.ac source? In this case, what should I write? I am using this and does not work at all (Changing BUILD_TIFF for AM_TIFF in Makefile.am): #Checking for TIFF library as well as some of its capabilities AC_CHECK_LIBTIFF AM_CONDITIONAL(BUILD_TIFF, HAVE_LIBTIFF ) Thanks in advance _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
