dnl =========================================================================== dnl Additional macros used to configure GiNaC. We don't start our own dnl additions' names with AC_ but with GINAC_ in order to steer clear of dnl future trouble. dnl =========================================================================== dnl Generally, it is a bad idea to put specialized header files for a library dnl into a generic directory like /usr/local/include/. Instead, one should put dnl them into a subdirectory. GiNaC does it, NTL does it. Unfortunately, CLN dnl doesn't do so but some people choose to do it by hand. In these cases we dnl need to #include , otherwise #include . This macro dnl tries to be clever and find out the correct way by defining the variable dnl HAVE_CLN_CLN_H in config.h: AC_DEFUN(GINAC_CHECK_CLN_H, [AC_PROVIDE([$0]) AC_CHECK_HEADERS(cln/cln.h, , AC_CHECK_HEADERS(cln.h, , AC_MSG_ERROR([cannot find header for Bruno Haible's CLN]); ) ) ]) dnl This macro is needed because the generic AC_CHECK_LIB doesn't work because dnl C++ is more strongly typed than C. Therefore we need to work with the dnl more fundamental AC_TRY_LINK instead. AC_DEFUN(GINAC_CHECK_LIBCLN, [AC_PROVIDE([$0]) AC_MSG_CHECKING([for doublefactorial in -lcln]) saved_LIBS="${LIBS}" AC_CACHE_VAL(ginac_cv_lib_cln_link, [LIBS="-lcln" case "${ac_cv_header_cln_cln_h}" in "yes") AC_TRY_LINK([#include ], [doublefactorial(2);], ginac_cv_lib_cln_link="-lcln", ginac_cv_lib_cln_link="fail") ;; *) AC_TRY_LINK([#include ], [doublefactorial(2);], ginac_cv_lib_cln_link="-lcln", ginac_cv_lib_cln_link="fail") ;; esac ]) case "${ginac_cv_lib_cln_link}" in dnl linking worked: "-lcln") LIBS="${ginac_cv_lib_cln_link} ${saved_LIBS}" AC_MSG_RESULT("yes") ;; dnl linking failed: "fail") LIBS="${saved_LIBS}" AC_MSG_RESULT([no]) AC_MSG_ERROR([You either need to set \$LDFLAGS or update CLN]) ;; dnl should never ever get here: *) LIBS="${saved_LIBS}" AC_MSG_WARN([you found a bug in the configure script!]) ;; esac ])
