Re: Search for an header file in different paths

[Alessandro Candini]

I see.

But gdal have a nice executable called gdal-config, similar to pkg-config:
address@hidden ~ $ gdal-config --cflags
-I/usr/include/gdal
address@hidden ~ $ gdal-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lgdal1.7.0

Is there a way to use it like I do with PKG_CHECK_MODULES?

In this way I could avoid the user to insert anything on configure 
command line, because gdal-config will give the right path on every 
system...
