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])])
