Hello!
Nice thing to have an automake/autoconf macro with the GSL!
All problems I had with the macro disappeared from version
0.8 to 0.9, just these very pedantic remarks remain:
1. Why is the macro called "AM_PATH_GSL" and not "AC_PATH_GSL"? As far
as I understand it's more involved into autoconf than automake, isn't
it?
2. The OUTPUT-variable is called GSL_CFLAGS. The autoconf-Manual
states for the "Preset Output Variables":
" - Variable: CFLAGS
Debugging and optimization options for the C compiler. If it is
not set in the environment when `configure' runs, the default
value is set when you call `AC_PROG_CC' (or empty if you don't).
`configure' uses this variable when compiling programs to test for
C features.
- Variable: CPPFLAGS
Header file search directory (`-IDIR') and any other miscellaneous
options for the C and C++ preprocessors and compilers. If it is
not set in the environment when `configure' runs, the default
value is empty. `configure' uses this variable when compiling or
preprocessing programs to test for C and C++ features."
So, probably, the variable should be "GSL_CPPFLAGS"?
