Yes, that's it exactly. Since it's very hard to anticipate exactly where
header files will be located, maybe it would be better to do two loops,
first searching for ndbm.h in all the directories, then searching for
gdbm-ndbm.h only if ndbm.h was not found. The following code works for
me:
for dir in /usr/include /usr/include/db1 /usr/include/gdbm; do
if test -f $dir/ndbm.h; then
dbm_include=$dir
if sh ./hasgot dbm_open; then
dbm_link=""
elif sh ./hasgot -lndbm dbm_open; then
dbm_link="-lndbm"
elif sh ./hasgot -ldb1 dbm_open; then
dbm_link="-ldb1"
elif sh ./hasgot -lgdbm dbm_open; then
dbm_link="-lgdbm"
elif sh ./hasgot -lgdbm_compat -lgdbm dbm_open; then
dbm_link="-lgdbm_compat -lgdbm"
fi
break
fi
done
if [ "$dbm_include" = "not found" ]; then
for dir in /usr/include /usr/include/db1 /usr/include/gdbm; do
if test -f $dir/gdbm-ndbm.h; then
dbm_include=$dir
use_gdbm_ndbm=yes
if sh ./hasgot -lgdbm_compat -lgdbm dbm_open; then
dbm_link="-lgdbm_compat -lgdbm"
elif sh ./hasgot -lgdbm dbm_open; then
dbm_link="-lgdbm"
fi
break
fi
done
fi
