It would be nice if the autoconf macro did version checking ... I'll see
if I can add that and send you a patch soon.

Cheers,

Eric

The installed version of the library. See the comments in the patch I
just submitted.

I see. In fact this is what I would call the old method. With pkg-config, t=
his=20
is already supported. All you have to do is :

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(XMLPP, libxml++-1.0 >=3D 0.25.0)

Moreover this wil define some extra variables, XML_LIBS and XML_CFLAGS.
I think we should encourage this method.

(BTW we should switch to this to detect libxml.)

Will this macro encourage the old fashion method ? I'm not sure. Murray wha=
t=20
do you think about it ?


Best regards,

Christophe

Ok. Missed that. The patch I submitted still won't hurt though. I doubt
it will encourage anyone to use the old method who is currently using
pkg-config; it simply adds an argument which always should have been
there.

If we really want people to use pkg-config, then we should remove
libxml++.m4 from the distribution altogether so that older-style
autoconfers like me will notice the change :)

Cheers,

Eric
