Hello John.

or simply edit the configure.ac file to support mysql_config like this:

AC_ARG_WITH(gdal-config,
[  --with-gdal-config=GDAL_CONFIG    use gdal-config specified ],
[
  GDAL_CONFIG=$withval;
  echo "using "$GDAL_CONFIG" for gdal-config";
],[
  PROG="gdal-config";
  AC_PATH_PROG(GDAL_CONFIG, $PROG, "", $PATH)
])

if test "x$GDAL_CONFIG" != "x"; then
  GDAL_CFLAGS=`$GDAL_CONFIG --cflags`
  GDAL_LIBS=`$GDAL_CONFIG --libs`
  AC_SUBST(GDAL_CFLAGS)
  AC_SUBST(GDAL_LIBS)
fi
AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_GDAL, test "x$GDAL_CONFIG" != "x")

And then use the variables in the Makefile.am files. For sure replace
GDAL with MYSQL.

I would like to see Anjuta support for generic -config scripts like
this. The syntax is for most cases the same. Has anyone though about 
it?

Andreas
