Depending on the setup of the computer system GIMP-Print was installed on, as well as the options passed to @command{configure} when configuring the package when it was built, the @env{CFLAGS} and @env{LIBS} parameters needed to compile and link programs with libgimpprint may vary. To make it simple to determine what these are on any given system, the script @command{gimpprint-config} was created. It's job is to output the correct parameters for the setup on your system. The following options are available:
roger@whinlatter:~/gimpprint/devel$ gimpprint-config --help
Usage: gimpprint-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]
Options:
[--prefix[=DIR]]
[--exec-prefix[=DIR]]
[--version]
[--libs]
[--cflags]
Libraries:
gimpprint
The @option{--prefix} and @option{--exec-prefix} options are only needed if the installed locations of parts of GIMP-Print are different from the configured locations. These should never be needed if GIMP-Print was properly configured and installed.
The installed version of GIMP-Print can be obtained with the @option{--version} option:
roger@whinlatter:~/gimpprint/devel$ gimpprint-config --version 4.2.7
The correct @env{CFLAGS} to use can be obtained with the @option{--cflags} option:
roger@whinlatter:~/gimpprint/devel$ gimpprint-config --cflags
In this case, there are no special @env{CFLAGS} required to compile programs.
The correct @env{LIBS} to use can the obtained with the @option{--libs} option:
roger@whinlatter:~/gimpprint/devel$ gimpprint-config --libs -L/usr/lib -lgimpprint -lm
The command can be used from the shell by enclosing it in backquotes ``':
gcc `gimpprint-config --cflags` -c prog.c gcc `gimpprint-config --libs` -o prog prog.o
However, this is not the way it it typically used. Normally it is used in a `Makefile' (see section 3.2 @command{make}) or by an @command{m4} macro in a @command{configure} script (see section 3.3 @command{autoconf}).
