Having configure is very common, having cmake is common too. Without having
seen the script it is hard to say -- but these generally test what is needed
for a package itself, here couchbase, to build.

But you need is different and one stage down the road: you want something to
build against an already install couchbase library and headers, so your task
is different.

Writing a configure script is a pretty solid answer (but also involves
learning something aking to a new language). Copying from existing ones as
well as a tutorial or two on the web helped me with that.

For now the easiest would be to just hardwire the values you need in your
src/Makevars.

Yes, when you have the next generic package building question, it may be
better to ask it there.
