Please see:
http://autogen.sourceforge.net/conftest.html If there is any part about those forms that you find difficult, please let me know so I can make them still more obvious. I would recommend filling in the form for a "with-orbitals-lib" option and have a shell script do a simplistic search when "with-orbitals-lib" is not supplied. It will automatically add stuff to your usage output for the configure program and enable you to easily accept options for specifying the lib path. e.g.: --with-orbital-lib=/path/to/orbitals/prefix would then cause: LIBS="$LIBS -L/path/to/orbitals/prefix -lorbitals" CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -I/path/to/orbitals/prefix/include" > I am trying to learn from the autobook, and the AC archive, > http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/ > > But the macros seem too intricate... That's why I wrote the page.
