NAME

gpgrt-config - Helper script to get information about the installed
version of gpg libraries

SYNOPSIS

gpgrt-config [options] [ module ]

DESCRIPTION

gpgrt-config is a script tool that is used by the autoconf macros
shipped with gnupg software (e.g., AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR and
AM_PATH_GPGME) to determine the compiler and linker flags that should
be used to compile and link programs that use the specific library
(e.g., libgpg-error or libgpgme). gpgrt-config uses pkg-config .pc
files as data source.

Apart from options gpgrt-config accepts a single argument module
specifying the basename (without the ".pc"-suffix) of the pkg-config
file to be used as input. module will default to gpg-error if it is
not specified.

OPTIONS

gpgrt-config accepts the following options:


--libdir=LIBDIR
Parent directory path of pkgconfig file search path. e.g.,
`gpgrt-config --libdir=/usr/lib --exists gpgme' will parse
`/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gpgme.pc'.


--exists
Test whether the pkg-config file `module.pc' exist and exits
with success or error accordingly.


--modversion
Print the currently installed version of module on the
standard output.


--libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program
using the module.


--cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a
program using the module.


--static
Modifies output if linking statically instead of dynamically.


--variable=VARNAME
Output variable VARNAME from the module's pkg-config file.

BUGS

gpgrt-config is tried to be compatible to pkg-config, and to support
cross build well, but it is not intended to be a replacement.
