Call the m4 macro PHP_REQUIRE_CXX in your config.m4 then. That will check for a C++ compiler and set the appropiate variables. > or is it possible to do two conversion on a variable?

If you can make sure that no license conflicts emerge, then you can do it this way: Extract the respective m4 macros from their acinclude.m4 (or whereever it is stored) and add them to your extension's config.m4. - Sascha
