AC_DEFUN([AC_VAR_EXCURSION], [ave_save_$1="$$1" $1="$2" $3 $1="$ave_save_$1"]) and then: AC_VAR_EXCURSION([LDFLAGS], [-L/dir $LDFLAGS], [AC_CHECK_LIB(...)]) > >2.Morever by default AC_CHECK_LIB looks for dynamic libraries.How do I > >specify that I should look for a static library. AC_CHECK_LIB looks for both static and dynamic libraries. If you wish to find only static libraries, you could determine the compiler flag(s) that do what `-static' does for gcc and add them to LDFLAGS for the AC_CHECK_LIB. It is probably easiest to harness Libtool for that. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
