Just checking for a windres tool might hit even on Linux systems when
building for Linux (e.g.: when using Gentoo and having built binutils
with multitarget support), and will then fail to link properly at the
end of the build.
* configure.ac: Avoid searching for windres on non windows target
With the recent changes to the linking defaults in Fedora 13 (namely
enabling --no-add-needed behaviour by default), we have to pass the
dlopen()-providing libraries directly at the link of the module; use the
same AC_SEARCH_LIBS function as used before to look for it and add it to
the Makefile.
This ensures that ./configure will work fine if xen development packages
are not around, rather than fail. When passing ./configure --with-xen, the
lack of xen development packages become fatal.
Always use AC_HELP_STRING for the help text for options at ./configure,
so that the output is properly aligned.
Use proper quadrigraphs for outputting the brackets.
Always use autoconf-style [default=$foo] output to state the default, both
where it was stated before and where it wasn't.
This time, include Matthias Bolte notes regarding defaults, and removing
PFX specification from phyp.
* configure.in: If you pass libraries in the LDFLAGS variable, and then
try AC_CHECK_FUNCS to find whether a function is present or not,
it'll fail badly when using the --as-needed linker flag. Instead,
pass the libraries through the LIBS library, so that they are passed
after the conftest.c source file and the tests are done properly.
* configure.in: With the previous logic, if libhal_get_all_devices
function was not found, HAVE_HAL would be defined for the preprocessor
but it wouldn't be enabled in automake conditionals, causing the final
link to fail with missing references to HAL entries.
