NAME

       wx-config - wxWidgets configuration search and query tool

SYNOPSIS

       wx-config [ OPTIONS ... ] [ LIB ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       wx-config  returns information about the wxWidgets libraries available on your system.  It may be used to
       retrieve the information you require to build applications using these libraries.

       Changing the library options you wish to use for an application previously involved managing  alternative
       configurations  by a system dependent means.  It is now possible to select from any of the configurations
       installed on your system via this single tool.  You can view all available  configurations  installed  in
       the  system  default  prefix  with the command wx-config --list and select from them by using the feature
       options described below.

       Optional LIB arguments (comma or space separated) may be  used  to  specify  individually  the  wxWidgets
       component  libraries  that  you  wish to use, or to specify additional components not usually included by
       default.  The magic token std may be used to import all libraries that would be used by default  if  none
       were specified explicitly.
       eg.  wx-config --libs std,gizmos

OPTIONS

       wx-config  accepts  the following options with no restrictions on their order as was required in previous
       releases:

   Installed root
       These options change or query the filesystem root for the operations listed below.

       --prefix[=PREFIX]
                      Without the optional argument, the current default prefix will be output.  If the argument
                      is  supplied,  PREFIX  will be searched for matching configs in place of the default.  You
                      may use both forms in the same command.

       --exec-prefix[=EXEC-PREFIX]
                      Similar to --prefix, but acts on the exec-prefix.  If not specified will  default  to  the
                      value of prefix.

   Query options
       These options return information about the wxWidgets default version and installed alternatives.

       --list         List all configs in prefix and show those that match any additional feature options given.

       --release      Output the wxWidgets release number.

       --version-full Output the wxWidgets version number in all its glory.

       --basename     Output the base name of the wxWidgets libraries.

       --selected-config
                      Output  the  signature  of  the  selected wxWidgets library.  This is a string of the form
                      "port-unicode-version".

   Feature options
       These options select features which determine which wxWidgets configuration to use.

       --host=HOST    Specify  a  (POSIX  extended)  regex  of  host  aliases  to  match  for   cross   compiled
                      configurations.  eg. --host=i586-mingw32msvc, --host=.*  If unspecified, the default is to
                      match only configurations native to the build machine.

       --toolkit=TOOLKIT
                      Specify a (POSIX extended) regex of the toolkits to match.  The toolkit is responsible for
                      the look and feel of the compiled application.  eg. gtk, gtk2, motif, msw.  If unspecified
                      the default is to prefer the system default toolkit, but  to  match  any  toolkit  in  the
                      absence of a stricter specification.

       --version[=VERSION]
                      Without  the optional argument, return the wxWidgets version.  If the argument is supplied
                      it specifies a (POSIX extended) regex of  the  versions  to  match.   If  unspecified  the
                      default  is  to prefer the system default version, but to match any version in the absence
                      of a stricter specification.

       --unicode[=yes|no]]
                      Specify the default character type  for  the  application.   If  unspecified,  the  system
                      default  will  be  preferred,  but  any  type  may  match  in  the  absence  of a stricter
                      specification.

       --debug[=yes|no]]
                      Specify whether to create a debug or release build for the application.   If  unspecified,
                      the system default (release) will be preferred, but any type may match in the absence of a
                      stricter specification.

                      Debug versions are very useful for finding certain common ways of misusing  the  wxWidgets
                      API,  and  you are encouraged to use them during active development of applications.  They
                      are not binary compatible with release versions,  and  packages  built  against  wxWidgets
                      debug builds should never be uploaded to Debian.

       --static[=yes|no]]
                      Specify   whether  to  statically  or  dynamically  link  wxWidgets  libraries  into  your
                      application.  If unspecified, the system default (dynamic) will be preferred, but any type
                      may  match  in  the  absence of a stricter specification.  Static linking is mainly useful
                      still for cross  ports  not  natively  supported  by  Debian,  and  can  be  hazardous  in
                      conjunction  with  the GTK toolkits.  Note that static libraries are no longer included in
                      the wxGTK packages.

   Compiler options
       These  options  generate  output  required  to  build  an  application  using  a   particular   wxWidgets
       configuration.

       --libs         Output link flags required for a wxWidgets application.

       --cppflags     Output parameters required by the C preprocessor.

       --cflags       Output parameters required by the C compiler.

       --cxxflags     Output parameters required by the C++ compiler.

       --cc           Output the name of the C compiler $(CC).

       --cxx          Output the name of the C++ compiler $(CXX).

       --ld           Output the linker command.
