NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

gpgr-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., libgp-error or libgpgme). gpgrt-config uses pk-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 pk-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., oqgpgrt-config --libdir=/usr/lib --exists gpgmecq will parse oq/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gpgme.pccq.

--exists

Test whether the pk-config file oqmodule.pccq 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 pk-config file.

BUGS

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