Something gnulib-ish for numerics

2012-09-18 Thread Rhys Ulerich
An odd thought... A lot of folks that write numerical codes need a few algorithms but not the smorgasbord of functionality that ships with, e.g., the GNU Scientific Library. For whatever reason, scientific users seem to have trouble installing such dependencies and prefer source distributions tha

Using gl_ABSOLUTE_HEADER after AC_CHECK_HEADER breaks CPPFLAGS

2008-08-14 Thread Rhys Ulerich
Hi, We found an odd side effect of gnulib's absolute_header.m4 over on the Autoconf mailing list ( http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2008-08/msg00024.html). Within an Autoconf macro, modifying CPPFLAGS, calling AC_CHECK_HEADER, and then calling gl_ABSOLUTE_HEADER prevents the header chec
