Look at configure.ac and acl-related checks. > Actually, Anthony is right and this will work. AC_CHECK_LIB([attr], [fgetxattr]) will add -lattr to LIBS. Afterwards, AC_CHECK_FUNCS will use $LIBS when linking so it'll pick up -lattr. Of course AC_SEARCH_LIBS is also an option, as it avoids linking in a fictitious libattr if the OS provides it for compatibility reasons while providing the functions as part of the C library. But the code is not wrong in that regard :) Diego Elio Pettenò — Flameeyes [email protected] — http://blog.flameeyes.eu/
