Synopsis

AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED(MACRO)

Description

AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED is a simple helper for making sure other macros have been defined and thus are available for use. This avoids random issues where a macro isn’t expanded. Instead the configure script emits a non-fatal:

  ./configure: line 1673: AX_CFLAGS_WARN_ALL: command not found

It’s like AC_REQUIRE except it doesn’t expand the required macro.

Here’s an example:

  AX_REQUIRE_DEFINED([AX_CHECK_LINK_FLAG])
