AX_BOOST_BASE([MINIMUM-VERSION])
Test for the Boost C++ libraries of a particular version (or newer)
If no path to the installed boost library is given the macro searchs under /usr, /usr/local, and /opt, and evaluates the $BOOST_ROOT environment variable. Further documentation is available at <http://randspringer.de/boost/index.html>.
This macro calls:
AC_SUBST(BOOST_CPPFLAGS) / AC_SUBST(BOOST_LDFLAGS)
And sets:
HAVE_BOOST
