NAME

       gpgrt-config - Helper script to get information about the installed version of gpg libraries

SYNOPSIS

       gpgrt-config [options] [ module ]

DESCRIPTION

       gpgrt-config  is  a  script  tool  that is used by the autoconf macros shipped with gnupg software (e.g.,
       AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR and AM_PATH_GPGME) to determine the compiler and linker flags that should  be  used  to
       compile  and  link  programs that use the specific library (e.g., libgpg-error or libgpgme). gpgrt-config
       uses pkg-config .pc files as data source.

       Apart from options gpgrt-config accepts a single argument module specifying  the  basename  (without  the
       ".pc"-suffix)  of  the pkg-config file to be used as input. module will default to gpg-error if it is not
       specified.

OPTIONS

       gpgrt-config accepts the following options:

       --libdir=LIBDIR
              Parent directory path of  pkgconfig  file  search  path.   e.g.,  ‘gpgrt-config  --libdir=/usr/lib
              --exists gpgme’ will parse ‘/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gpgme.pc’.

       --exists
              Test whether the pkg-config file ‘module.pc’ exist and exits with success or error accordingly.

       --modversion
              Print the currently installed version of module on the standard output.

       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program using the module.

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

       --static
              Modifies output if linking statically instead of dynamically.

       --variable=VARNAME
              Output variable VARNAME from the module's pkg-config file.

BUGS

       gpgrt-config  is  tried  to  be  compatible to pkg-config, and to support cross build well, but it is not
       intended to be a replacement.
