C Compiler has header searcher to detect installed library.
If you need a include path of header file use ```search_header_path```:
# Searches ```iconv.h```.
# If found it will return include path of the header file.
# Otherwise it will return nil .
fail 'iconv.h not found' unless conf.cc.search_header_path 'iconv.h'
If you need a full file name of header file use ```search_header```:
# Searches ```iconv.h```.
# If found it will return full path of the header file.
# Otherwise it will return nil .
iconv_h = conf.cc.search_header 'iconv.h'
print "iconv.h found: #{iconv_h}\n"
Header searcher uses compiler's ```include_paths``` by default.
When you are using GCC toolchain (including clang toolchain since its base is gcc toolchain)
it will use compiler specific include paths too. (For example ```/usr/local/include```, ```/usr/include```)
If you need a special header search paths define a singleton method ```header_search_paths``` to C compiler:
def conf.cc.header_search_paths
['/opt/local/include'] + include_paths
end
