Usually something as: AC_PATH_PROG(FOO_CONFIG, foo-config) if test -n "$FOO_CONFIG"; then AC_DEFINE(HAVE_FOO) FOO_LIBS=`$FOO_CONFIG --libs` FOO_CFLAGS=`$FOO_CONFIG --cflags` fi > Is there a > way to tell autoconf which config-binary to use to a given lib? You mean encapsulating the previous logic ? You may define it as a m4 macro, as some libs already do for instance. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
