crypto++ header location about codecrypt HOT 8 CLOSED

I will try to use pkgconfig for discovering the location of the headers. Please workaround with explicit ./configure CPPFLAGS=... in the meantime.

The thing seems to be put into include/crypto++ folder in debian and some other distros. What output do you get from pkg-config libcrypto++ --cflags ?

pkg-config libcrypto++ --cflags returns nothing on my machine.

I was hoping it would return the correct crypto++ include path. Can you think of some other good method to portably detect the path to headers? (I'm not sure if "try this else that" approach would fit in autotools logic)

I just had a look at amule, which also uses crypto++, in order to see, what they do to solve this issue. They simply check for both directories: https://github.com/amule-project/amule/blob/master/m4/cryptopp.m4

Just realized that debian adds compatibility symlink cryptopp->crypto++. Asking arch guys to do the same would be nice.

Nevermind, I added a test that should handle both cases accordingly, please try the latest git dbce46b

I hope there are no more possibilities where the headers could go.

Thanks, it works fine now. I guess this can be closed.

Cool, thanks for report.
