spkg-configure for singular

[thierry-FreeBSD]

In order to use a system package of singular (see #27330 ), I added a basic spkg-configure.m4.

Component: build: configure

spkg-configure.m4 for singular

[thierry-FreeBSD]

comment:1

With the attached file put under build/pkgs/singular configure works:

---

Checking whether SageMath should install SPKG singular...

checking whether any of gmp mpfr is installed or will be installed as SPKG... no

checking for libSingular... yes

configure: will use system package and not install SPKG singular

---

...

singular-4.1.1p2.p0: using system package; SPKG will not be installed

But I have remarked that sage builts only when singular has been built with '--with-ntl': some more checks could be added.

And after the build, with the system package, the error already reported in #22175 (freegb.lib not found) occurs (but certainly for another cause):

[dochtml] Error building the documentation.

dup of #29024

comment:4

OK, to be closed!

(Because #29024 is not listed in #27330 I did not found it)
