NAME

       regina-engine-config - get information about the installed version of Regina

SYNOPSIS

       regina-engine-config    [--prefix[=DIR]]    [--exec-prefix[=DIR]]   [--version]   [--libs]
       [--cflags]

DESCRIPTION

       regina-engine-config tells you which compiler and linker flags should be used to build the
       mathematical  engine of Regina into your own programs.  Regina's mathematical engine is in
       the library libregina-engine.so.

       Regina is a software package for 3-manifold and 4-manifold topologists, with  a  focus  on
       triangulations, knots and links, normal surfaces, and angle structures.

       For  3-manifolds, it includes high-level tasks such as 3-sphere recognition, connected sum
       decomposition and Hakenness testing, comes with a rich database of census  manifolds,  and
       incorporates  the  SnapPea kernel for working with hyperbolic manifolds.  For 4-manifolds,
       it offers  a  range  of  combinatorial  and  algebraic  tools,  plus  support  for  normal
       hypersurfaces.   For  knots  and  links,  Regina  can  perform combinatorial manipulation,
       compute knot polynomials, and work with several import/export formats.

OPTIONS

       regina-engine-config accepts the following options.

       --prefix=DIR
              Use DIR instead of  the  installation  prefix  that  Regina  was  built  with  when
              computing  the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used
              for the exec prefix if  --exec-prefix  is  not  specified.   This  option  must  be
              specified  before  any --libs or --cflags options.  If no DIR is specified then the
              current installation prefix will be written to standard output.

              Most people will not need this option.

       --exec-prefix=DIR
              Use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that Regina  was  built  with  when
              computing  the  output  for  the  --cflags and --libs options.  This option must be
              specified before any --libs or --cflags options.  If no DIR is specified  then  the
              current installation exec prefix will be written to standard output.

              Most people will not need this option.

       --version
              Print the currently installed version of Regina.

       --libs Print  the  linker  flags  that  are  required to link a program against the Regina
              calculation engine.

       --cflags
              Print the compiler flags that are required to  compile  a  program  that  uses  the
              Regina calculation engine.
