Hi, I am an autotools newb and I have difficulties figuring out howto easily link a specific library into one of the configured targets.

I have a source package that I want to build the usual way: ./configure && make && make install

Unfortunately one of the cpps has a missing reference to another library. Compiling it by hand (adjusting the commandline) works. But I would rather "patch" the compile script. Where is the standard place to edit linking references?

 undefined reference to `boost::system::get_system_category()

That is my error message btw.
