uuid-config [–help] [–version] [–all] [–prefix] [–exec-prefix] [–bindir] [–libdir] [–includedir] [–mandir] [–datadir] [–acdir] [–cflags] [–ldflags] [–libs]Description
The uuid-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the uuid(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 uuid(3) library.Options
uuid-config accepts the following options:- –help
- Prints the short usage information.
- –version
- Prints the version number and date of the installed uuid(3) library.
- –all
- Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not OSSP uuid 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 uuid(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the CFLAGS
uuidiable of the applications Makefile
.
- –ldflags
- Prints the linker flags ( -L
) which are needed to link the application with the uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LDFLAGS
uuidiable of the applications Makefile
.
- –libs
- Prints the library flags ( -l
) which are needed to link the application with the C uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LIBS
uuidiable of the applications Makefile
.
Example
CC = cc
CFLAGS = -O `uuid-config –cflags`
LDFLAGS = `uuid-config –ldflags`
LIBS = -lm `uuid-config –libs`
all: foo
foo: foo.o
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
foo.o: foo.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c
