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.
