NAME

       gpgrt-config  -  Helper  script  to  get  information  about  the installed version of gpg
       libraries

SYNOPSIS

       gpgrt-config [options] [ module ]

DESCRIPTION

       gpgrt-config is a script tool that is used by  the  autoconf  macros  shipped  with  gnupg
       software  (e.g., AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR and AM_PATH_GPGME) to determine the compiler and linker
       flags that should be used to compile and link  programs  that  use  the  specific  library
       (e.g., libgpg-error or libgpgme). gpgrt-config uses pkg-config .pc files as data source.

       Apart  from  options gpgrt-config accepts a single argument module specifying the basename
       (without the ".pc"-suffix) of the pkg-config file to be used as input. module will default
       to gpg-error if it is not specified.

OPTIONS

       gpgrt-config accepts the following options:

       --libdir=LIBDIR
              Parent   directory  path  of  pkgconfig  file  search  path.   e.g.,  ‘gpgrt-config
              --libdir=/usr/lib --exists gpgme’ will parse ‘/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gpgme.pc’.

       --exists
              Test whether the pkg-config file ‘module.pc’ exist and exits with success or  error
              accordingly.

       --modversion
              Print the currently installed version of module on the standard output.

       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program using the module.

       --cflags
              Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the module.

       --static
              Modifies output if linking statically instead of dynamically.

       --variable=VARNAME
              Output variable VARNAME from the module's pkg-config file.

BUGS

       gpgrt-config is tried to be compatible to pkg-config, and to support cross build well, but
       it is not intended to be a replacement.
