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
