DESCRIPTION

       gimptool-2.0  is  a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they
       are distributed in one source file.

       gimptool-2.0 can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries  and  include-paths  GIMP  was
       compiled  with.  gimptool-2.0 uses pkg-config for this task. For use in Makefiles, it is recommended that
       you use pkg-config directly instead of calling gimptool-2.0.

OPTIONS

       gimptool-2.0 accepts the following options:

       --version
               Print the currently installed version of GIMP on the standard output.

       --help  Print out the help blurb, showing commonly used commandline options.

       --quiet Run quietly without echoing any of the build commands.

       --silent
               Run silently without echoing any of the build commands. Same as --quiet.

       -n      Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Useful for  making  dry  runs  for
               testing.

       --just-print
               Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n.

       --dry-run
               Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n.

       --recon Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n.

       --msvc-syntax
               Useful  on  Windows.  Outputs  the  compiler  and  linker flags in the syntax used by Microsoft's
               toolchain. Passed to the pkg-config command that does most of gimptool-2.0's work.

       --bindir
               Outputs the bindir used to install the GIMP.

       --sbindir

               prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified  before  any  --libs  or
               --cflags options.

               any --libs or --cflags options.

ENVIRONMENT

       CC      to get the name of the desired C compiler.

       CFLAGS  to get the preferred flags to pass to the C compiler for plug-in building.

       LDFLAGS to get the preferred flags for passing to the linker.

       LIBS    for passing extra libs that may be needed in the build process. For example, LIBS=-lintl .

       PKG_CONFIG
               to  get the location of the pkg-config program that is used to determine details about your glib,
               pango, gtk+ and gimp installation.
