Re: Autoconf regex test

[Geoff Hutchison <ghutchis at wso dot williams dot edu>]

Hi all,

I need some help on writing a rather strange autoconf test. If this seems
painfully obvious, I'm sorry, I'm just drawing a blank.

My GPL'ed package includes the glibc regex.c source. Right now, this
causes segfaults on BSDI and Digital Unix. I'm in the process of working
out why this happens, but in the meantime, I'd like a test to see whether
the included regex.o should be compiled and linked in.

Basically, I want an AC_TRY_RUN test that includes the regex.c file in
compilation. Is this possible, or can you only compile/link the test
program file? 

Thanks very much,

-Geoff Hutchison
