NAME

       uuid-config - OSSP uuid API build utility

VERSION

       OSSP uuid 1.6.2 (04-Jul-2008)

SYNOPSIS

       uuid-config [--help] [--version] [--all] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--bindir] [--libdir]
       [--includedir] [--mandir] [--datadir] [--acdir] [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs]

DESCRIPTION

       The uuid-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building
       applications based on the uuid(3) library.  It can be used to query the C compiler and
       linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link the application against the
       uuid(3) library.

OPTIONS

       uuid-config accepts the following options:

       --help
         Prints the short usage information.

       --version
         Prints the version number and date of the installed uuid(3) library.

       --all
         Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not OSSP uuid
         specific.

       --prefix
         Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files

       --exec-prefix
         Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files.

       --bindir
         Prints the installation directory of binaries.

       --libdir
         Prints the installation directory of libraries.

       --includedir
         Prints the installation directory of include headers.

       --mandir
         Prints the installation directory of manual pages.

       --datadir
         Prints the installation directory of shared data.

       --acdir
         Prints the installation directory of autoconf data.

       --cflags
         Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the uuid(3)-based application.
         The output is usually added to the CFLAGS uuidiable of the applications Makefile.

       --ldflags
         Prints the linker flags (-L) which are needed to link the application with the uuid(3)
         library. The output is usually added to the LDFLAGS uuidiable of the applications
         Makefile.

       --libs
         Prints the library flags (-l) which are needed to link the application with the C
         uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LIBS uuidiable of the applications
         Makefile.

EXAMPLE

        CC      = cc
        CFLAGS  = -O `uuid-config --cflags`
        LDFLAGS = `uuid-config --ldflags`
        LIBS    = -lm `uuid-config --libs`

        all: foo
        foo: foo.o
            $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
        foo.o: foo.c
            $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c
