glib-config(1)

NAME

       glib-config  - script to get information about the installed version of
       GLib

SYNOPSIS

       glib-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs]
       [--cflags] [LIBRARIES]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       glib-config accepts the following options:

       LIBRARIES
               GLib has three libraries 'glib', 'gmodule' and  'gthread'.   If
               you  specify  one of them, only the appropriate things for that
               library will be printed.

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

       --libs  Print  the  linker flags that are necessary to link a GLib pro-
               gram.

       --cflags
               Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile  a  GLib
               program.

       --prefix=PREFIX
               If  specified,  use  PREFIX  instead of the installation prefix
               that GLib 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 pre-
               fix that GLib was built with when computing the output for  the
               --cflags  and  --libs  options.   This option must be specified
               before any --libs or --cflags options.
