This isn't mozilla I'm compiling, its an application I'm writing and
distributing in source format. The application uses the gtkembedmoz
widget and thus needs to check that mozilla is installed.
After using the included m4 code in your configure, you can use @LIBS@
in your linking lines of makefile.in and it will have set up the -L and
-l. You can also use @CXXFLAGS@ in compilation lines to get -I's for
where the necessary include file for the widget is.
My grasp of both autoconf and linking/loading is tenuous at best so I'm
not sure of next steps. Does the mozilla installation program append a
line to /etc/ld.so.conf (on Linux, not sure what analogy is in BSD-style
OSs)? If not, I suppose I'd have to do so in any 'make install' rule? Or
does the library search path get embedded in the executable by the
linker? I need to do some more tinkering.
