From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com>
Most checks for libraries take the same format
* --with-libFOO=yes|no|check|/some/path argument
* check for a function NNN in libFOO.so
* check for a header file DDD/HHH.h
* Define a WITH_FOO config.h symbol
* Define a WITH_FOO make conditional
* Substitute FOO_CFLAGS and FOO_LIBS make variables
* Print CFLAGS & LIBS summary at the end
Doing all this correctly is rather difficult, typically
done by copy+paste of a previous usage. Further small
improvements people make are not applied to all previous
usages.
Improve this by creating some helper macros to apply
good practice. First, to perform the actual checks:
LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB([SELINUX],[selinux],[getfilecon][selinux/selinux.h])
This checks for 'getfilecon' in libselinux.so, and the
existance of 'selinux/selinux.h' header file. If successful
it sets SELINUX_CFLAGS and SELINUX_LIBS. The WITH_SELINUX
config.h macro and WITH_SELINUX make conditional are also
defined.
Finally to print a summary of CFLAGS & LIBs found (if any):
LIBVIRT_RESULT_LIB([SELINUX],[selinux])
