Your distribution should contain a template file that looks as you want
the final header file to look, including comments, with #undef
statements which are used as hooks. For example, suppose your
`configure.ac' makes these calls:
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS(conf.h) AC_CHECK_HEADERS(unistd.h) |
Then you could have code like the following in `conf.h.in'. On
systems that have `unistd.h', configure
will `#define'
`HAVE_UNISTD_H' to 1. On other systems, the whole line will be
commented out (in case the system predefines that symbol).
/* Define as 1 if you have unistd.h. */ #undef HAVE_UNISTD_H |
You can then decode the configuration header using the preprocessor directives:
#include <conf.h> #if HAVE_UNISTD_H # include <unistd.h> #else /* We are in trouble. */ #endif |
The use of old form templates, with `#define' instead of `#undef' is strongly discouraged.
Since it is a tedious task to keep a template header up to date, you may
use autoheader
to generate it, see 4.7.2 Using autoheader
to Create `config.h.in'.
