OpenCL autoconf m4 macro

Some time ago I needed an m4 macro for autoconf to detect if OpenCL is present and working. If I remember correctly, the only existing macro I found was in ImageMagick, but it was old and simply didn't work with current OpenCL implementations, so I needed to tweak it a little.

That's all I have to say, if you're in need of such a script, here you go:

# -*- mode: autoconf -*-
#
# AX_CHECK_CL
#
# Check for an OpenCL implementation.  If CL is found, the required compiler
# and linker flags are included in the output variables "CL_CFLAGS" and
# "CL_LIBS", respectively.  If no usable CL implementation is found, "no_cl"
# is set to "yes".
#
# If the header "CL/cl.h" is found, "HAVE_CL_CL_H" is defined.  If the header
# "OpenCL/cl.h" is found, HAVE_OPENCL_CL_H is defined.  These preprocessor
# definitions may not be mutually exclusive.

You can use it like you would use the OpenGL macro. This would go to configure.ac:

AX_CHECK_CL
if test "X$no_cl" = "Xyes"; then
    AC_MSG_FAILURE([You need OpenCL])
fi

And this to Makefile.am:

AM_CXXFLAGS = @CL_CFLAGS@
myprogram_LDADD = @CL_LIBS@
