LIBIDL-CONFIG(G)                                 LIBIDL-CONFIG(G)



NAME
       libIDL-config - helper script for building with libIDL


SYNOPSIS
       libIDL-config  [  --libs ] [ --cflags ] [ --prefix=dir ] [
              --exec-prefix=dir ]

       libIDL-config [ --version ] [ --help ]


DESCRIPTION
       libIDL-config is a tool that is used to determine the com-
       piler  and linker flags that should be used to compile and
       link programs that use the libIDL library. It is also used
       internally  by  the  .m4  macros for GNU autoconf that are
       included with libIDL.

       In most cases, you will use one (or both) of  the  options
       --cflags or --libs (depending on whether you are compiling
       or linking.


OPTIONS
       libIDL-config accepts the following options:

       --version
              Print the currently installed version of library on
              the standard output.

       --help Print a usage summary.

       --libs Print  the  linker flags that are necessary to link
              with the specified library.

       --cflags
              Print the compiler flags that are necessary to com-
              pile a program using the specified library.

       --prefix=PREFIX
              If  specified,  use PREFIX instead of the installa-
              tion prefix that library was built with  when  com-
              puting  the  output  for  the  --cflags  and --libs
              options. This option is also used for the exec pre-
              fix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option
              must be specified before  any  --libs  or  --cflags
              options.

       --exec-prefix=PREFIX
              If  specified,  use PREFIX instead of the installa-
              tion exec prefix that library was built  with  when
              computing  the  output  for the --cflags and --libs
              options.  This option must be specified before  any
              --libs or --cflags options.
