ac_path_generic

SYNOPSIS

AC_PATH_GENERIC(LIBRARY [, MINIMUM-VERSION [, ACTION-IF-FOUND [, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]]])

DESCRIPTION

Runs a LIBRARY-config script and defines LIBRARY_CFLAGS and LIBRARY_LIBS

The script must support `--cflags' and `--libs' args. If MINIMUM-VERSION is specified, the script must also support the `--version' arg. If the `--with-library-[exec-]prefix' arguments to ./configure are given, it must also support `--prefix' and `--exec-prefix'. (In other words, it must be like gtk-config.)

For example:

   AC_PATH_GENERIC(Foo, 1.0.0)

would run `foo-config --version' and check that it is at least 1.0.0

If so, the following would then be defined:

   FOO_CFLAGS to `foo-config --cflags`
   FOO_LIBS   to `foo-config --libs`

At present there is no support for additional "MODULES" (see AM_PATH_GTK) (shamelessly stolen from gtk.m4 and then hacked around a fair amount)
