dnl some initial definitions

then i setup my environment settings:

AC_PROG_CPP
dnl Checks for @RANLIB@
AC_PROG_RANLIB

dnl Check for perl (needed for images) -- will set @PERL@ to perl if found.
dnl   In fact, it will set it to the entire path so we can do #! line
dnl   substitution in the scripts.  Cool.  And we can do it from within

dnl Check for install program.  Sets INSTALL, INSTALL_PROGRAM(755),
dnl   and INSTALL_DATA(644).  We MUST have install-sh in our distribution if
dnl   this is used.
AC_PROG_INSTALL

dnl xxxxxxxxxx
dnl AC_PROG_MAKE_SET checks for make setting the variable MAKE.  If it does,
dnl define SET_MAKE to be empty, otherwise SET_MAKE='MAKE=make' (@SET_MAKE@)
dnl xxxxxxxxxx
AC_PROG_MAKE_SET

dnl Checks for libraries.
dnl xxxxxx
dnl AC_CHECK_LIB(lib,func) does these things:
dnl   adds -l(lib) to LIBS
dnl   defines HAVE_LIB(LIB)
AC_CHECK_LIB(m, atan2)
AC_CHECK_LIB(gmp,__gmpz_init,,builtin_gmplib=no)
AC_CHECK_LIB(z,uncompress,,builtin_zlib=no)

dnl Check for the older sun libraries.  This is for IRIX 4 only.
dnl AC_CHECK_LIB(sun,

dnl Checks for header files.
dnl sets shell variables x_includes and x_libraries unless they are default.
dnl This is useless after we check for libraries..
dnl AC_PATH_X

dnl defines STDC_HEADERS if the system has ANSI C headers.  Checks for:
dnl   stdlib.h stdarg.h string.h float.h.  Also checks for 8bit ctype.h macros
AC_HEADER_STDC

dnl defines HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H if sys/wait.h AND is POSIX (int stores status)
dnl   Use to define WEXIT,WIFEXIT macros if H_S_W_H not defined.
AC_HEADER_SYS_WAIT

dnl Checks for specific header files.
dnl   Defines HAVE_FCNTL_H, SYS_FILE_H SYS_IOCTL_H SYS_TIME_H UNISTD_H
dnl   if they are available.
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(fcntl.h sys/file.h sys/ioctl.h time.h sys/time.h unistd.h)

dnl Check for string.h and strings.h as well, sys/fcntl.h, and memory.h
dnl   (for memset/memmove-type instructions)
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(string.h strings.h sys/fcntl.h memory.h machine/endian.h)

dnl Check for unsigned char.
AC_C_CHAR_UNSIGNED

dnl Checks for typedefs, structures, and compiler characteristics.
dnl If the compiler doesn't understand const, #define const to be empty.
AC_C_CONST

dnl Checks for the type of mode.  If mode_t is not defined, this defines
dnl   mode_t to be type int.
AC_TYPE_MODE_T

dnl Checks for time & sys/time.  Defines TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME_H if both may be
dnl   included.  If not, just include sys/time.h if SYS_TIME_H is defined,
dnl   else just include time.h
AC_HEADER_TIME

dnl If time.h doesn't define struct tm, then define TM_IN_SYS_TIME, so
dnl   sys/time.h is necessary to be included.
AC_STRUCT_TM

dnl If struct tm has a tm_zone member, defines HAVE_TM_ZONE, otherwise, if
dnl   exterm tzname[] is found, defines HAVE_TZNAME (probably useless for us)
AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE

dnl If uid_t is not defined, define uid_t and gid_t to be int.
AC_TYPE_UID_T

dnl Checks for library functions.
dnl Will add -traditional to CDEFS if gcc & it is required.
AC_PROG_GCC_TRADITIONAL

dnl adds memcmp.o to LIBOBJS if memcmp isn't available or doesn't work on
dnl   8-bit data (SunOS 4.1.3)
AC_FUNC_MEMCMP

dnl Signal return type.  If void (*), then define RETSIGTYPE to be void,
dnl   otherwise define it as int.
AC_TYPE_SIGNAL

dnl If vprintf is found, defines HAVE_VPRINTF, if _doprnt is found, define
dnl   HAVE_DOPRNT.
AC_FUNC_VPRINTF

dnl If wait3 is found & fills contents of the third arg with struct rusage *,
dnl   (not HP-UX), define HAVE_WAIT3
AC_FUNC_WAIT3

dnl Defines HAVE_(FUNC) if these are available.
