NAME
       orbit-config - helper script for building with ORBit

SYNOPSIS
       orbit-config  [  --libs  ] [ --cflags ] [ --prefix=dir ] [
              --exec-prefix=dir ]  [  --use-service=service  ]  [
              client | server ]

       orbit2-config [ --version ] [ --help ]


DESCRIPTION
       orbit-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 orbit library. It is also used
       internally by the .m4 macros for  GNU  autoconf  that  are
       included with orbit.

       The argument client is used for compiling an orbit client,
       and server for compiling an orbit server.  In most  cases,
       you  will  use  one  (or  both) of the options --cflags or
       --libs (depending on whether you are compiling or linking.


OPTIONS
       orbit-config accepts the following options:

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

       --help Print a usage summary.

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

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

       --use-service=SERVICE
              If specified, provide additional flags (if any) for
              using the specified service.  Known values for SER-
              VICE are: module CosNaming, interfaces  LNameCompo-
              nent, LName.
