[Coin-discuss] Re: AC_COIN_HAS_USER_LIBRARY

[Lee Ann Fisk]

Hello again.  We are configuring COIN from within another
autoconf'd package, and I found that by adding -lpthread
to my --with-cplex-lib option and being careful with
quoting, that I was able to get COIN to configure
successfully without the macro change.

But I think that if a user sets the LIBS variable,
you are supposed to use it in your tests, aren't you?
