Have you ever considered using autoconf to create your makefiles for
GNUS? I've been writing quite a few macros for Emacs/W3's configure.in for
mucking about with the Emacs someone is trying to use. I've written
equivalents of the AC_CHECK_LIB macro, so for Emacs/W3 to test whether the
current emacs has a suitable version of the widget library I just do:
AC_EMACS_CHECK_LIB(widget,widget-convert-text,"noecho")
AC_EMACS_CHECK_LIB(wid_edit,widget-convert-text,"noecho")
The 'noecho' stuff is just so routines called by AC_EMACS_CHECK_LIB don't
echo their own 'checking ....' stuff. There is also AC_EMACS_CHECK_VAR
macro, and AC_EMACS_LISP macro for executing arbitrary lisp.
>From configure.in:
AC_CHECK_CUSTOM
if test "${CUSTOM}" = "no"; then
AC_MSG_WARN(" ")
AC_MSG_WARN(No usable version of the widget/custom libraries have been)
AC_MSG_WARN(detected on your system. This version of Emacs/W3 requires)
AC_MSG_WARN(features present in newer versions of the widget library.)
AC_MSG_WARN(" ")
AC_MSG_WARN(Please upgrade to the latest version of custom available.)
AC_MSG_WARN(This package is included with Emacs 20.1 and XEmacs 20.3)
AC_MSG_WARN(or from http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~abraham/custom/)
AC_MSG_WARN(" ")
AC_MSG_WARN(You may still continue but you must modify lisp/Makefile)
AC_MSG_WARN(to have the correct WIDGETDIR setting.)
AC_MSG_WARN(" ")
