Exactly. Please think of backward-compatibility for people using AM_PATH_CHECK in their configure.ac. The -version mentionned previously doesn't help in the task of detecting whether libcheck is available in the build environment. What you could *add* to the library is a pkg-config (.pc) file, which would permit using pkg-config's macros to check for the availability and the version of libcheck (pkg-config now supports the static / dynamic linking flags distinction). That should be in addition to the macro (which should simply be deprecated). -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
