[LIBRARIES...]
DESCRIPTION
The gnome-config program is used to retrieve information
from installed libraries in the system. It is typically
used to compile and link against one or more GNOME
libraries. Here is a typical usage scenario in a Makefile:
program: program.c
cc program.c `gnome-config --cflags --libs gnomeui`
Usually, a combination of flags is used like --cflags and
--libs in conjunction with the list of libraries that your
program uses. These libraries are specified as part of the
command line.
gnome-config includes hard-coded information for a number of
libraries: the ones used to build gnome-libs, and the ones
provided by gnome-libs (which gnome-config is part of).
Other libraries are integrated by providing gnome-config
modules.
OPTIONS
The following Generic options are supported:
--version
Requests that the gnome-libs version information be
displayed.
--modversion
Requests that the version information of the libraries
specified on the command line be displayed. This
information is either the gnome-libs version for
libraries that are part of gnome-libs, or the version
specified in MODULE_VERSION variable in the module con-
figuration file.
--help
Displays a help message and terminates.
The following options are used to compile and link programs
with GNOME libraries and components:
--cflags
This prints pre-processor and compiler flags required
to compile the module with the libraries specified on
the command line.
--libs
This prints the library linking information. These
flags can be passed to the compiler driver to link an
object file with the libraries specified on the command
line.
--libs-only-L
This only prints the -L/-R part of --libs for the
libraries specified on the command line.
--libs-only-l
This only prints the -l part of --libs for the
libraries specified on the command line.
The following options are used to find out the directories
that were used to install the various files that are part of
the GNOME distribution, they correspond to the variable
names used by the Makefiles (Makefiles in GNOME are compli-
ant with the GNU standard for makefiles, and they typically
use GNU autoconf and GNU automake to get these right and
uniform):
--prefix
Outputs the prefix that was used to configure the GNOME
libraries.
--exec-prefix
Outputs the exec-prefix used to install the GNOME
libraries.
--bindir
Outputs the bindir used to install the GNOME libraries.
--sbindir
Outputs the sbindir used to install the GNOME
libraries.
--libexecdir
Outputs the libexecdir used to install the GNOME
libraries.
--datadir
Outputs the datadir used to install the GNOME
libraries.
--sysconfdir
Outputs the sysconfdir used to install the GNOME
libraries.
--sharedstatedir
Outputs the sharedstatedir used to install the GNOME
libraries.
--localstatedir
Outputs the localstatedir used to install the GNOME
libraries.
--libdir
Outputs the libdir used to install the GNOME libraries.
--infodir
Outputs the infodir used to install the GNOME
libraries.
--mandir
Outputs the mandir used to install the GNOME libraries.
--includedir
Outputs the includedir used to install the GNOME
libraries.
The basic set of libraries you can link with are:
glib (calls glib-config)
idl (to be used with orbit-idl)
gnome
gnomeui
gnorba
gtk (calls gtk-config)
gtkxmhtml (only --libs)
zvt (only --libs)
MODULE INTEGRATION
gnome-config can incorporate more GNOME libraries, to do so
the library author needs to install an xxxxConf.sh file in
the directory returned by "gnome-config --libdir" or in any
directory listed in the GNOME_LIBCONFIG_PATH environment
variable or in the directory pointed by GNOME_PATH/lib
The prefix "xxxx" should be substituted with the module
name, for example, the applets library installs the
appletConf.sh file.
The configuration file is a shell script evaluated by
gnome-config and it should define four shell variable set-
tings:
xxx_LIBDIR
This specifies any directory paths required to find the
libraries defined by this module.
XXX_LIBS
A list of compiler options to link the code with this
module.
XXX_INCLUDEDIR
This specifies the flags that should be passed to the
compiler for the program to be able to locate the
header files provided by the module.
MODULE_VERSION
This should be the module version number. It should be
in the format "module-version", for example "bonobo-
0.1" is a valid MODULE_VERSION setting.
This is an example file for an imaginary library called
"foo":
#
# Configuration file for using library foo.
#
FOO_LIBDIR="-L/opt/foo/lib"
FOO_LIBS="-lfoo"
FOO_INCLUDEDIR="-I/opt/foo/include"
MODULE_VERSION=foo-2.3
Typically these files are generated at configuration or com-
pilation time, authors usually use a template file, this is
an example template file for fooConf.sh, it is called
fooConf.sh.in:
#
# Configuration file for using library foo.
#
FOO_LIBDIR="@FOO_LIBDIR@"
FOO_LIBS="@FOO_LIBS@"
FOO_INCLUDEDIR="@FOO_INCLUDEDIR@"
MODULE_VERSION=foo-@VERSION@
The above template file is typically processed by the
Makefile to produce the actual configuration file. This is
a sample piece of code that shows how to get this right:
## We create fooConf.sh here and not from configure because we want
## to get the paths expanded correctly. Macros like srcdir are given
## the value NONE in configure if the user doesn't specify them (this
## is an autoconf feature, not a bug).
fooConf.sh: fooConf.sh.in Makefile
## Use sed and then mv to avoid problems if the user interrupts.
sed -e 's?@FOO_LIBDIR@?$(FOO_LIBDIR)?g' \
-e 's?@FOO_INCLUDEDIR@?$(FOO_INCLUDEDIR)?g' \
-e 's?@FOO_LIBS@?$(FOO_LIBS)?g' \
-e 's?@VERSION@@?$(VERSION)?g' \
< $(srcdir)/fooConf.sh.in > fooConf.tmp \
&& mv fooConf.tmp fooConf.sh
This file is then copied into a system accessible location.
ENVIRONMENT
The gnome-config program uses the directories listed in the
GNOME_LIBCONFIG_PATH to locate library definition files
(Conf.sh) installed on the system. The variable GNOME_PATH
is used as a list of directories where GNOME applications
and libraries have been installed. gnome-config looks in
the lib subdirectory of each directory listed here for
library definition files (Conf.sh) installed.
AUTHOR
gnome-config was written by Miguel de Icaza, Raja Harinath
and various hackers in the GNOME team. It was inspired by
Owen Taylor's gtk-config program.
