getopt_long search in configure

Bruce Momjian writes:

I have added:

AC_CHECK_LIB(getopt, main)

to configure.in to allow PostgreSQL to perhaps find getopt_long() in a
separate library.

Is there a system that distributes a libgetopt library that contains
getopt_long()?

I have it here in /usr/local/include. Not sure how it got there. It
must have been installed by some other software.

OK good. But the check should be

AC_SEARCH_LIBS(getopt_long, [getopt])

That way you check if the library actually contains the function you want.

Thanks. Change made. I was finding it hard to debug the pg_restore
flag problems without long options. This way, I have them. I will try
to research how I got libgetopt.a in /usr/local/include. Does anyone
else have one? Maybe I generated it by hand.
