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
