 Can anyone offer some advice for getting a 3rd party tool to find
openexr/ilmbase via autoconf?

I've tried using *AC_CHECK_LIB()* on libIlmImf, which returns the right
link flags when the libs are installed to the default location, but I'm
wondering if there is a neater way of doing it that might find the
headers/libs in other locations.

I've seen the openexr.m4 file within the openexr distribution, which seems
to provide *AM_PATH_OPENEXR()*, but I'm not too sure about the process of
using it from a 3rd party app. I can only call that if I copy the
openexr.m4 file into my app directory, but I'm assuming there's a way of
using it from where the openexr installation has put it on the system.

So anyway, I'm new to this autoconf business, so any tips on reliably
finding openexr or ilmbase would be much appreciated.


I've attached the m4 script from a project of mine as an example.
