uuid-config: OSSP uuid API build utility

NAME

uuid-config - OSSP uuid API build utility

VERSION

OSSP uuid 1.6.2 (04-Jul-2008)

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The uuid-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the uuid(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 uuid(3) library.

OPTIONS

uuid-config accepts the following options:

--help

Prints the short usage information.

--version

Prints the version number and date of the installed uuid(3) library.

--all

Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not OSSP uuid specific.

--prefix

Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files

--exec-prefix

Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files.

--bindir

Prints the installation directory of binaries.

--libdir

Prints the installation directory of libraries.

--includedir

Prints the installation directory of include headers.

--mandir

Prints the installation directory of manual pages.

--datadir

Prints the installation directory of shared data.

--acdir

Prints the installation directory of autoconf data.

--cflags

Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the uuid(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the CFLAGS
uuidiable of the applications Makefile
.

--ldflags

Prints the linker flags ( -L
) which are needed to link the application with the uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LDFLAGS
uuidiable of the applications Makefile
.

--libs

Prints the library flags ( -l
) which are needed to link the application with the C uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LIBS
uuidiable of the applications Makefile
.

EXAMPLE

 CC      = cc
 CFLAGS  = -O `uuid-config --cflags`
 LDFLAGS = `uuid-config --ldflags`
 LIBS    = -lm `uuid-config --libs`

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