wireshark/aclocal-flags
Guy Harris ec9f9cb687 Add a script, "aclocal-flags", which figures out where
1) aclocal expects autoconf/automake macros to be hidden;

	2) GTK+ hid its autoconf/automake macros;

and, if both places exist but aren't the same directory, returns a "-I"
flag to tell aclocal to look in GTK+'s directory.

Then have "autogen.sh", and Makefiles in directories with "acinclude.m4"
files, use that script and pass what flag it supplies, if any, to
aclocal.

This should, I hope, avoid problems such as those FreeBSD systems where
GTK+ was installed from a port or package (and thus stuck its macros in
"/usr/X11R6/share/aclocal") but aclocal doesn't look there.

(It doesn't solve the problem of somebody downloading and installing,
say, libtool from source - which means it probably shows up under
"/usr/local", with its macros in "/usr/local/share/aclocal" - on a
system that comes with aclocal (meaning it probably just looks in
"/usr/share/aclocal", but that may be best fixed by, whenever you
download a source tarball for something that's part of your OS,
configuring it to install in the standard system directories and
*overwriting* your OS's version.)

# This script returns the flags to be fed to "aclocal" to ensure that
# it finds GTK+'s aclocal macros.
#
# aclocal will search, by default, only in a directory in the same
# tree where it was installed - e.g., if installed in "/usr/bin", it'll
# search only in "/usr/share/aclocal", and if installed in "/usr/local/bin",
# it'll search only in "/usr/local/share/aclocal".
#
# However, there is no guarantee that GTK+ has been installed there; if
# it's not, it won't find the GTK+ autoconf macros, and will complain
# bitterly.
#
# So, if the "share/local" directory under the directory reported by
# "gtk-config --prefix" isn't the same directory as the directory
# reported by "aclocal --print-ac-dir", we return a "-I" flag with
# the first of those directories as the argument.
#
# (If they *are* the same directory, and we supply that "-I" flag,
# "aclocal" will look in that directory twice, and get well and truly
# confused, reporting a ton of duplicate macro definitions.)

#
# If there's no "aclocal", the former will be empty; if there's no
# "gtk-config", the latter will be empty.

# Add the "-I" flag only if neither of those strings are empty, and
