Well, since I figured out the problem but didn't know how to implement
"compile-time" autoconf macros, I don't really have anything that fails...
I'm reading up on m4 at the moment, and will hopefully be able to implement
it afterwards.
Before I saw the order of things I thought I could do something like this:
AC_DEFUN(SIM_CHECK_COIN,[
AC_PREREQ([2.14.1])
dnl set up default attributes
default=yes
for attribute in dummy $3; do
case $attribute in
dummy) ;;
default) default=yes ;;
nodefault) default=no ;;
*) AC_MSG_ERROR(invalid attribute \"$attribute\" for `SIM_CHECK_COIN') ;;
esac
done
AC_ARG_WITH(coin, AC_HELP_STRING([--with-coin=DIR], [set the prefix directory wh
ere Coin resides [default=$default]]), , [with_coin=$default])
[...]
then I would be able to use something like this when libCoin was a non-default
option:
SIM_CHECK_COIN( , , nodefault)
