I would tend towards not trying to configure C library and include paths here and defer that to the programmer to properly configure on their system. Especially if we're running subcommands to try and parse out the right paths to search and so on. If a user is installing things in non-standard locations, I expect them to be able to build their software appropriately taking that into account and not relying on "default" locations and settings. |
