Check for the availability of a library
using the CheckLib method.
You only specify the basename of the library,
you don't need to add a lib
prefix or a .a or .lib suffix:
env = Environment()
conf = Configure(env)
if not conf.CheckLib('m'):
print 'Did not find libm.a or m.lib, exiting!'
Exit(1)
env = conf.Finish()
|
Because the ability to use a library successfully
often depends on having access to a header file
that describes the library's interface,
you can check for a library
and a header file
at the same time by using the
CheckLibWithHeader method:
env = Environment()
conf = Configure(env)
if not conf.CheckLibWithHeader('m', 'math.h'):
print 'Did not find libm.a or m.lib, exiting!'
Exit(1)
env = conf.Finish()
|
This is essentially shorthand for
separate calls to the CheckHeader and CheckLib
functions.
