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 compiler 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 compile a program using the specified library.

--prefix=PREFIX

If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that library was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix 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 installation 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.
