NAME

       gauche-config - retrieve configuration parameters of Gauche

SYNOPSIS

       gauche-config option

DESCRIPTION

       Gauche-config  displays  various  parameters  specified  at  the  configuration time of the Gauche Scheme
       implementation.  It can be used in Makefile and other configuration scripts that uses Gauche.

OPTIONS

   General parameters
       -V   Gauche version.

       --reconfigure
            Prints the command line used to configure the current Gauche installation.  It is  pretty  handy  to
            configure  another  Gauche  source  tree  with  the  same  configuration;  just  type `gauche-config
            --reconfigure | sh'.

   Parameters to compile an application using Gauche
       -I, -L, -l
              List of "-I" options (include directories), "-L" options (library directories), and  "-l"  options
              (libraries) for the compiler which are required to compile applications that links Gauche library.

       --cc   Name of the compiler used to compile the current installation.

       --ac   Directory name that contains Gauche specific autoconf macro.

       --arch The  architecture  signature,  which is used in the pathname of architecture-dependent files, e.g.
              "i686-pc-linux-gnu".

   Parameters to install files
       --syslibdir, --sysarchdir, --sysincdir
              Directories where the Gauche core system's Scheme files, architecture-dependent files, and  header
              files  are  installed, respectively.  These directories belong to Gauche core; additional packages
              should not put files in them.

       --sitelibdir, --sitearchdir, --siteincdir
              Directories where the additional packages will put Scheme files, architecture-dependent files, and
              header files, respectively.

       --pkglibdir, --pkgarchdir, --pkgincdir
              Same as --sitelibdir etc, except that the base directory name is left as `${datadir}'.  The result
              is suitable to be embedded in Makefiles, for the base directory could be overridden at build  time
              rather than configure time.  The default template for Gauche extension packages use these options.

       --mandir, --infodir
              Directories where gauche manpage and info docs are installed.

   Parameters to compile Gauche extention
       --object-suffix
              Extension of the compiled objects (e.g. 'o').

       --executable-suffix
              Suffix of the executable (usually empty on Unix variants, and '.exe' on Windows.  Note that '.' is
              a part of suffix in this option, as opposed to other -suffix options.

       --so-suffix
              Extension of the dynamically loadable (dlopen-able) modules (e.g. 'so' or 'dll').

       --so-cflags
              Flags required to compile shared object.

       --so-ldflags
              Flags required to link a gauche extension.

       --so-libs
              Libraries to be linked with a gauche extension.

       --dylib-suffix
              Suffix for dynamically linked libraries.  Some unix  variants  require  special  suffix  (such  as
              'dylib').  On other platforms this is the same as '--so-suffix'.

       --dylib-ldflags
              Flags required to link dynamically linked library file.  Some unix variants require special flags.
              On other platforms this is the same as '--so-ldflags'.

       --rpath-flag
              Compler flag(s) to embed RPATH in the binary.

       --libgauche-so
              The name of shared library of libgauche.
