Hi,
I have written a package
http://atlc.sourceforge.net/
which ideally would like to link in with the gsl scientific library,
although it can be configured without it. I want to:
a) Test for the presence of some gsl library header files
b) Test for the presence of some gsl library files.
Based on the results of these tests, I want either to print a warning
message saying the gsl library is not installed, or print a message
saying the installation is broken.
The section below between the two rows of stars works fine on a Sun
workstation running Solaris 9 (tcsh shell), a Sun workstation running
Debian Linux (bash shell), a PC running Redhat 7.3 Linux (tcsh shell),
but *fails* on a Sun workstation running NetBSD 1.6 unix (ksh shell),
with the message:
test: ==: unexpected operator
Further down there are two more instances where the configure script
says
test: ==: unexpected operator
although I have not at this time isolated where these are. I'd like to
improve the portability of the code (that is after all the aim of
autoconf). Can anyone suggest a way to do this?
dnl Check to see if the gsl library files AND header files are all
dnl around.
gsl_inc_count=0
AC_HAVE_HEADERS(gsl/gsl_sf_ellint.h,[gsl_inc_count=$(($gsl_inc_count +
1))])

1))])
