Hello, 3 years ago I complained about autoconf for being autoconf. (I don't want to discuss that) http://sourceware.org/ml/automake/2004-02/msg00045.html NOW, I want to introduce you to a replacement I wrote and successfully use for 2+ years now. It can detect header files, libraries and other files (pkg-config, sdl-config, etc.). So, experienced programmers who like small things should be able to do everything necessary with it. It was tested and works for all Unixes/Unices (and compat.) It's usage is 100% autoconf compatible (./configure && make && make install) Files: -------------------------------------------------------------- configure ~0.6kB a shell script for autoconf compat. configure.c ~8kB a hybrid that is a shell script and C code at the same time configure.in ~1-nkB actually a header file but i decided to name it's suffix "in" for your convenience --------------------------------------------------------------- Running ./configure will always create a config.h and a config.mak file for inclusion in the Makefile and the code. I suggest everyone has a look at it. I already use it very successfully in ~10 of my own projects. The attached example already detects a hell of a lot different libs, header files, etc. All you need to edit is configure.in. I think everything will speak for itself. THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO DEPENDENCIES EXCEPT SOME WORKING C COMPILER. (It is prepared for Windows support.) Let me know what you think, Dirk
