   5 # SYNOPSIS
   6 #
   7 #   AX_CHECK_LIBRARY(VARIABLE-PREFIX, HEADER-FILE, LIBRARY-FILE,
   8 #                    [ACTION-IF-FOUND], [ACTION-IF-NOT_FOUND])
   9 #
  10 # DESCRIPTION
  11 #
  12 #   Provides a generic test for a given library, similar in concept to the
  13 #   PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro used by pkg-config.
  14 #
  15 #   Most simplest libraries can be checked against simply through the
  16 #   presence of a header file and a library to link to. This macro allows to
  17 #   wrap around the test so that it doesn't have to be recreated each time.
  18 #
  19 #   Rather than define --with-$LIBRARY arguments, it uses variables in the
  20 #   same way that PKG_CHECK_MODULES does. It doesn't, though, use the same
  21 #   names, since you shouldn't provide a value for LIBS or CFLAGS but rather
  22 #   for LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS, to tell the linker and compiler where to find
  23 #   libraries and headers respectively.
  24 #
  25 #   If the library is find, HAVE_PREFIX is defined, and in all cases
  26 #   PREFIX_LDFLAGS and PREFIX_CPPFLAGS are substituted.
  27 #
  28 #   Example:
  29 #
  30 #     AX_CHECK_LIBRARY([LIBEVENT], [event.h], [event], [],
  31 #                      [AC_MSG_ERROR([Unable to find libevent])])
