I'm in favour of using pkg-config for detection of these libraries and would
like to see the manual checking code gone in a future release.
If we're to merge these patches, all of them should be squashed into one
since they all perform the same action. I've merged all the patches into a
single one and added ChangeLog entry to its right place. If others agree,
I'll push this patch.
Cool, I also would like to see support for pkg-config.
You could add pkg-config for libpsl as well into the patch and check if there
are any other libraries missing.
Oh, I didn't know libpsl ships with pkg-config files. I'll add that in a
separate patch.
Also, please consider using AC_SEARCH_LIBS instead of AC_CHECK_LIBS.
A good description why is here: https://autotools.io/autoconf/finding.html
I've been using AC_SEARCH_LIBS, and am currently fixing the configure file, will
replace AC_CHECK_LIBS with AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
Here is an example for libz:
AC_ARG_WITH(zlib, AS_HELP_STRING([--without-zlib], [disable gzip compression
support]), with_zlib=$withval, with_zlib=yes)
if test $with_zlib != "no"; then
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(deflate, z,
[with_zlib=yes; AC_DEFINE([WITH_ZLIB], [1], [Use zlib])],
[with_zlib=no; AC_MSG_WARN(*** ZLIB was not found. You will not be able
to use gzip (de)compression)])
