I can't seem to find the appropriate way to determine if a user has a
particular library by trying to link with a class and a class method in
that library.
There is a certain static function in a library named 'vtkCommon' that
I would like to check for. I'd like to have autoconf generate a program
like:
#include <vtk/vtkRectilinearGrid.h>
int main() { vtkRectilinearGrid::New(); }
and if it compiled/linked, then assume -lvtkCommon is in a std include
path, add it to LIBS, etc. Unfortunately
AC_CHECK_LIB(vtkCommon,[vtkRectilinearGrid::New()],,AC_MSG_ERROR(...))
is failing because one needs to include the appropriate header or else
compilation fails.
How could I get behavior similar to AC_CHECK_LIB but with an additional
include / other specified line? Maybe I'm making the wrong assumption
that this should be 'easy', and I must AC_DEFINE my own macro to be
testing this sort of thing...
Thanks for any help/insights,
-tom
