AutoConf; This may be a Question from the FAQ -- I'd read it if I knew where it was.
How do I make a AC_CHECK_LIB for a C++ library? My example looks for cgi_base::configureForServer on different systems like this: > AC_CHECK_LIB(cgi, configureForServer__8cgi_basePci) > AC_CHECK_LIB(cgi, configureForServer__8cgi_baseFPci) ...and this often fails on other systems simply because the C compiler causes the linker not to include various C++ libraries while checking. I've tried: > save_CC=$CC > CC=$CXX > AC_CHECK_LIB(cgi, configureForServer__8cgi_basePci) > AC_CHECK_LIB(cgi, configureForServer__8cgi_baseFPci) > AC_CHECK_LIB(cgi, gnu_get_libc_version) >[...] > CC=$save_CC ...but with no consistent success, and the AC_CHECK_LIB still has to guess at the mangled C++ name. Is there no better way? Allan
