I am relatively new to the use of autoconf. I have been attempting to copy and modify a macro for a new library. I was looking at ax_lib_oracle_oci.m4 and ax_lib_xerces.m4 as the basis for a start. What I'd like to do is obtain the library version info for this new shared library. The above macros get the library version info by parsing header files. With the library I am using, the version information is obtained via a function call. Is there a "best practice" way of compiling a short piece of code, running it, and then getting the output back into the configure variables? If so, could someone point me to an existing macro or project that does this? Thank you.
