Hi all, I had a search for these on google but couldn't find anything simple -- so I did a version myself which checks for libdl, libdbi and that the mysql driver can be loaded at runtime (which is the tricky one). Perhaps this would be useful to others
AC_CHECK_LIB(dl,dlopen,,echo "Dynamic loading library not found!",) AC_CHECK_LIB(dbi,dbi_initialize,,echo "DBI library not found!",) AC_MSG_CHECKING([for libdbi mysql driver (dynamic load)]) AC_RUN_IFELSE( [AC_LANG_PROGRAM(,[[dbi_initialize(0);dbi_conn_new("mysql");]])], [AC_MSG_RESULT([yes])], [AC_MSG_FAILURE([failed - libdbd not insatlled?])]) Cheers & thanks for a great library!
