[Libreoffice] [PATCH] Fix configure check for BerkleyDB where db_create is macro

[Petr Mladek]

Hi,

first, I am sorry that I committed the older proposed fix and caused
Bernhard troubles. Unfortunately, the problem went somehow out of my 
radar until I saw Bernhard's bug

Could you please try the attached patch?

I would like to get it into the libreoffice-3-3 branch for LO-3.3.1
release. Thus the diff is a bit conservative. The idea is:

+ keep check for "dbopen" and "__db185_open" to keep backward
  compatibility with  3.3.0 release
+ add check for "db_create" that seems to work for most people
+ add check for "db_create_4008",  "db_create_4007", "db_create_4004" that 
  should work for db.h using macros; the version numbers 4008, 4007, 4004 come
  from the used directory suffixes 4.8, 4.7, 4.4; I have seen these problems
  with macros only with the 4.x version
+ do not use AC_CHECK_FUNC; IMHO, it just duplicate the AC_CHECK_LIB and is not
  really necessary; I did not want to duplicate the long lists of fallbacks.

It is a bit ugly but it should know in all known cases.

It works here. Also really try the fallback when needed, ...


Best Regards,
Petr
