- if the libraries are not installed in standard places you may need
- to set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS accordingly. This will be improved in further
- editions of this developers series. Here is an example call.
+the configure program will try to use the libraries with out adding any extra
+flags apart from the ones defined in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS. If this does not
+work it will try to get information from pkgconfig.
+
+If your libraries are not installed in standard places and you do not have
+pkgconfig support, then you may want to set CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to help
+configure while it tries to find the libraries.
