Linking against ODE with autoconf

[Sqeaky]

Is there some easy macro to put in configure.ac to have autoconf/
configure verify the has libode somewhere on it? I have googled quite
a bit and I could not find how to properly include this in my project.

I just do this, like any library:

AC_CHECK_LIB(ode, [dBodyCreate], [],
    AC_MSG_ERROR([Couldn't find ODE library.]))

Thanks, that worked perfectly.

I would recommend to use the pkg-config macro:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(ODE, ode)

Then use the variables ODE_CFLAGS and ODE_LIBS in your Makefiles. For
automake, it would be like this:

AM_CPPFLAGS = $(ODE_CFLAGS)
LIBS += $(ODE_LIBS)


You can also indicate which version you require, like:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(ODE, ode >= 0.11)


BUT if your software depends on specific behaviors (say, a game), you
better distribute the specific version you need with your software. You
never know how somebody else might have built and installed ODE
system-wide. This could be done with AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS(ode-subdir), for
example.
