Description

Can you provide more detail on how the autoconf analyzer picks up dependencies

For example in the simple configure.ac file here:
https://github.com/edrosten/autoconf_tutorial/blob/master/ex_05/configure.ac

it contains
AC_CHECK_HEADERS(zlib.h, [], [AC_ERROR([A working zlib is required])])
AC_SEARCH_LIBS(deflate, z, [], [AC_ERROR([A working zlib is required])])

The dependency-check report shows that it scans configure.ac but does not show that it found zlib in the evidence section of the report.

Can you provide a simple example of a simple configure file in what you would expect it to match on?
