Creating a configure script

[WebmasterMattD]

I am after some information about how to generate a configure script that will detect the locations of libraries and other stuff in order to properly compile my program on different Linux boxes.

Thanks,

This is not the answer I'm going to write..

Check files of various packages already in the box.

It will show you a way..
such as you can see how the squid installer works to be installed in various boxes.
