A number of third-party libraries have added pkg-config support over the years. This patch-set updates configure to make use of it where it is available. It also fixes some conflicting option definitions and adds checks that cause configure to fail if a plugin has been explicitly requested, but the related third-party library is not available. Patch 1: switch from `--with-XXX` to `--enable-XXX` for output plugins. Patches 2-5: use pkg-config for libdbi, libmysqlclient, libpcap and libpq if available. Patches 6-10: abort configure when an output plugin has been explicitly enabled, but the related library is not available. Changes since v1 * Better commit messages. * Simpler mysql patch: remove the upstream m4 macro calls, and look for `mysql_config` the same way we do `pg_config` and `pcap-config`. * `AM_CPPFLAGS` fixes for mysql, pcap, and postgresql. * `LIBADD` fix for mysql. Jeremy Sowden (10): build: use `--enable-XXX` options for output plugins build: use pkg-config for libdbi build: use pkg-config or mysql_config for libmysqlclient build: use pkg-config or pcap-config for libpcap build: use pkg-config or pg_config for libpq build: if `--enable-dbi` is `yes`, abort if libdbi is not found build: if `--enable-mysql` is `yes`, abort if libmysqlclient is not found build: if `--enable-pcap` is `yes`, abort if libpcap is not found build: if `--enable-pgsql` is `yes`, abort if libpq is not found build: if `--enable-sqlite3` is `yes`, abort if libsqlite3 is not found acinclude.m4 | 351 --------------------------------------- configure.ac | 192 +++++++++++++++++---- output/dbi/Makefile.am | 4 +- output/mysql/Makefile.am | 4 +- output/pcap/Makefile.am | 2 + output/pgsql/Makefile.am | 4 +- 6 files changed, 165 insertions(+), 392 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 acinclude.m4 -- 2.34.1
