- Subject: Checking for libraries using AC_CHECK_LIB
Hello,
I have some difficulties to understand the AC_CHECK_LIB macro.
Using the argument for the function to be checked defines a
dummy header for the function so that the compiler does not
complain.
But in C++ the case is somewhat different if there are functions
residing in namespaces, such as CORBA::ORB_init -- how would I
check for these?
On Linux, I simply checked for main, but Solaris CC 5.1 tells
me that calling main recursively is not allowed.
How is this macro intended to be used together with C++?
Lars
