NAME

npth-config - nPth library build utility

VERSION

GNU nPth 0.91

SYNOPSIS

npth-config [--help] [--version] [--all] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--bindir] [--libdir] [--includedir] [--mandir] [--datadir] [--acdir] [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs]

DESCRIPTION

The npth-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the npth(3) library. It can be used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link the application against the npth(3) library.

OPTIONS

npth-config accepts the following options:

--thread: Specify thread module to use.
--prefix: Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files
--exec-prefix: Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files.
--version: Prints the version number and date of the installed npth(3) library. nPth specific.
--api-version: Prints the API version of the installed npth(3) library.
--host: Prints host triplet.
--libs: Prints the library flags ("-l") which are needed to link the application with the npth(3) library. The output is usually added to the "LIBS" variable of the applications "Makefile".
--cflags: Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the npth(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the "CFLAGS" variable of the applications "Makefile".

EXAMPLE

 CC      = cc
 CFLAGS  = -O `npth-config --cflags`
 LIBS    = -lm `npth-config --libs`

 all: foo
 foo: foo.o
     $(CC) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
 foo.o: foo.c
     $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c
