Hi Rishi, I am using this particular line: > > AC_CHECK_LIB(xml2,xmlParseFile,,AC_MSG_ERROR(oops! no function xmlParseFile > function in xml?!?),) in my configure.in for autoconf >
It should work fine for you in most of the cases. But I really doubt if this the best possible way to achieve what you want. But I really wonder why autoconf doesn't adds a check for libraries that you use in you sources. Neways, I would suggest you that you post the exact steps that you are trying to provide others with a better picture of what you goal is and how you are trying to achieve it. > The use of macro is > > AC_CHECK_LIB : Checks whether a function exists in the given library > (library names without the leading lib, e.g., for libxml, use just xml here) > > It seems that it is not path dependant. Yes, this not path dependent. And should work fine for all the cases. > > -- > Regards, > Rishi B. Agrawal > http://www.linkedin.com/in/rishibagrawal > http://code.google.com/p/fscops/ >
