On older expat versions there is no pkg-config file, so fall back to

I agree this a good practice to fallback in this case.
This paritally reverts commit a4afd90f9f0c27ed5f3f313b915c260673f8be34.
-wayland_scanner_CFLAGS = $(EXPAT_CFLAGS) $(AM_CFLAGS)
This hunk is bad. If the pkg-config file provide CFLAGS, they must be
used. And there is no harm at all to use an undefined variable here.
(And I think we should just define it empty in the fallback.)
I included that by mistake when I did the revert. Will fix.
+ [AC_CHECK_HEADERS(expat.h, [AC_DEFINE(HAVE_EXPAT_H)],
HAVE_EXPAT_H is defined by AC_CHECK_HEADERS itself so please remove the
AC_DEFINE.
+ [AC_MSG_ERROR([Can't find expat.h. Please install expat.])])
+ AC_CHECK_LIB(expat, XML_ParserCreate, [EXPAT_LIBS="-lexpat"],
If we re-introduce such check, we should use AC_SEARCH_LIBS (as advised
by the Autoconf manual[1]).
Here is the code I would use :
EXPAT_CFLAGS=""
EXPAT_LIBS="-lexpat"
AC_SEARCH_LIBS([XML_ParserCreate], [expat],
[
AC_SUBST(EXPAT_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(EXPAT_LIBS)
],
[
AC_MSG_ERROR([Can't find expat library. Please install expat.])
])
I just reverted the previous patch, but if the non-pkg-config test can
be improved it probably is a good idea, I will test this and submit a
new patch.
