NAME¶

pth-config - Pth library build utility

VERSION¶

GNU Pth 2.0.7 (08-Jun-2006)

SYNOPSIS¶

pth-config [--help] [--version] [--all] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--bindir] [--libdir] [--includedir] [--mandir] [--datadir] [--acdir] [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs]

DESCRIPTION¶

The pth-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the pth(3) library. It can be used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link the application against the pth(3) library.

OPTIONS¶

pth-config accepts the following options:

--help

Prints the short usage information.

--version

Prints the version number and date of the installed pth(3) library.

--all

Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not Pth specific.

--prefix

Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files

--exec-prefix

Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files.

--bindir

Prints the installation directory of binaries.

--libdir

Prints the installation directory of libraries.

--includedir

Prints the installation directory of include headers.

--mandir

Prints the installation directory of manual pages.

--datadir

Prints the installation directory of shared data.

--acdir

Prints the installation directory of autoconf data.

--cflags

Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the pth(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the "CFLAGS" variable of the applications "Makefile".

--ldflags

Prints the linker flags ("-L") which are needed to link the application with the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the "LDFLAGS" variable of the applications "Makefile".

--libs

Prints the library flags ("-l") which are needed to link the application with the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the "LIBS" variable of the applications "Makefile".

EXAMPLE¶

 CC      = cc
 CFLAGS  = -O `pth-config --cflags`
 LDFLAGS = `pth-config --ldflags`
 LIBS    = -lm `pth-config --libs`

 all: foo
 foo: foo.o
     $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
 foo.o: foo.c
     $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c
