-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Stephane, well, my humble suggestion would be that you only use - -L/house/bortz/lib conftest.c -lpopt when needed. On our recent "configure.ac" we did as follows (in a m4 macro): - save a copy of LIBS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS (and so on), - check for any library (popt in your case), check if it works, and store the directories and files in their proper popt_LIBS, popt_LDFLAGS, popt_INCLUDES (and so on), - store the original LIBS, CFLAGS, LDFLAGS... This will lead you to use these popt_* values in your Makefile.am and let your compile environment clean when running configure.
