NAME

       gnustep-config - prints information about the current gnustep installation.

SYNOPSIS

       gnustep-config [ --variable=variable |--objc-flags|--objc-libs|--base-libs|--gui-libs ]

DESCRIPTION

       gnustep-config  can print information about the currently installed GNUstep system. Output
       is generated dynamically based on environment variables such  as  GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE  and
       GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES,  though  default  values  for  these  are  generated  when  the tool is
       configured/installed.   Output  is  primarily  the  locations  in  which  various  GNUstep
       resources  are  installed,  but also provide flags used to build differnt types of GNUstep
       project.
