NAME
krb5-config – tool for linking against MIT Kerberos libraries
SYNOPSIS
krb5-config [–-help | –-all | –-version | –-vendor | –-prefix | –-exec-prefix | –-defccname | –-defktname | –-defcktname | –-cflags | –-libs [libraries]]
DESCRIPTION
krb5-config tells the application programmer what flags to use to compile and link programs against the installed Kerberos libraries.
OPTIONS
–-help- prints a usage message. This is the default behavior when no options are specified.
–-all- prints the version, vendor, prefix, and exec-prefix.
–-version- prints the version number of the Kerberos installation.
–-vendor- prints the name of the vendor of the Kerberos installation.
–-prefix- prints the prefix for which the Kerberos installation was built.
–-exec-prefix- prints the prefix for executables for which the Kerberos installation was built.
–-defccname- prints the built-in default credentials cache location.
–-defktname- prints the built-in default keytab location.
–-defcktname- prints the built-in default client (initiator) keytab location.
–-cflags- prints the compilation flags used to build the Kerberos installation.
–-libs[library]- prints the compiler options needed to link against library. Allowed values for library are:
krb5 Kerberos 5 applications (default)
gssapi GSSAPI applications with Kerberos 5 bindings
kadm-client Kadmin client
kadm-server Kadmin server
kdb Applications that access the Kerberos database
EXAMPLES
krb5-config is particularly useful for compiling against a Kerberos installation that was installed in a non-standard location. For example, a Kerberos installation that is installed in /opt/krb5/ but uses libraries in /usr/local/lib/ for text localization would produce the following output:
shell% krb5-config --libs krb5 -L/opt/krb5/lib -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/opt/krb5/lib -L/usr/local/lib -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err
