NUT-specific autoconf macros
----------------------------
The following NUT-specific autoconf macros are defined in the m4/
directory.
- NUT_TYPE_SOCKLEN_T
- NUT_TYPE_UINT8_T
- NUT_TYPE_UINT16_T
Check for the corresponding type in the system header files, and
#define a replacement if necessary.
- NUT_CHECK_LIBGD
- NUT_CHECK_LIBNEON
- NUT_CHECK_LIBNETSNMP
- NUT_CHECK_LIBPOWERMAN
- NUT_CHECK_LIBOPENSSL
- NUT_CHECK_LIBNSS
- NUT_CHECK_LIBUSB
- NUT_CHECK_LIBWRAP
Determine the compiler flags for the corresponding library. On
success, set nut_have_libxxx="yes" and set LIBXXX_CFLAGS and
LIBXXX_LDFLAGS. On failure, set nut_have_libxxx="no". This macro
can be run multiple times, but will do the checking only once.
Here "xxx" should of course be replaced by the respective library name.
The checks for each library grow organically to compensate for
various bugs in the libraries, pkg-config, etc. This is why we have
a separate macro for each library.
- NUT_CHECK_IPV6
Check for various features required to compile the IPv6 support.
dnl Check for various features required for IPv6 support. Define a
preprocessor symbol for each individual feature (HAVE_GETADDRINFO,
HAVE_FREEADDRINFO, HAVE_STRUCT_ADDRINFO, HAVE_SOCKADDR_STORAGE,
SOCKADDR_IN6, IN6_ADDR, HAVE_IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED,
HAVE_AI_ADDRCONFIG). Also set the shell variable nut_have_ipv6=yes
if all the required features are present. Set nut_have_ipv6=no
otherwise.
- NUT_CHECK_OS
Check for the exact system name and type.
This was only used in the past to determine the packaging rule to be used
through the OS_NAME variable, but may be useful for other purposes in the
future.
- NUT_REPORT_FEATURE(FEATURE, VALUE, VARIABLE, DESCRIPTION)
Schedule a line for the end-of-configuration feature summary. The
FEATURE is a descriptive string such that the sentence "Checking
whether to FEATURE" makes sense, and VALUE describes the decision
taken (typically yes or no). The feature is also reported to the
terminal.
Also use VARIABLE and DESCRIPTION for defining AM_CONDITIONAL and
AC_DEFINE (only if VALUE = "yes"). VARIABLE is of the form 'WITH_<NAME>'.
- NUT_REPORT(FEATURE, VALUE)
Schedule a line for the end-of-configuration feature summary, without
printing anything to the terminal immediately.
- NUT_PRINT_FEATURE_REPORT
Print out a list of the features that have been reported by
previous NUT_REPORT_FEATURE macro calls.
- NUT_ARG_WITH(FEATURE, DESCRIPTION, DEFAULT)
Declare a simple --with-FEATURE option with the given DESCRIPTION
and DEFAULT. Sets the variable nut_with_FEATURE.
