I see various ways of doing it but wonder, what is best practice? What are the recommended automake and autoconf mechanisms for setting appropriate search paths to supporting libs and headers that are themselves add-ons and not part of the OS release? It is not always /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include, of course. On NetBSD it's /usr/pkg instead of /usr/local. On Solaris it can be /opt/sfw. Etc.On gtk, pkg-config is used to give all the library paths and flags for various packages.
I think one needs a separate copy of pkg-config for each toolchain you want to build things with. (Or at least its data files.) - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change
