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.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GIMP plug-in.

               that do not require the GTK+ libraries.

       --prefix=PREFIX
               If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that  GIMP  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 was not specified. This option must
               be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix=PREFIX
               If  specified,  use  PREFIX  instead of the installation exec prefix that GIMP was

               option must be specified before 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.
