NAME

     uuid-config — OSSP uuid API build utility

SYNOPSIS

     uuid-config [--help] [--version] [--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 of
     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.

     OSSP uuid also ships pkg-config(1) definition (as ossp-uuid.pc).  Use that instead.

OPTIONS

     --help         Prints the short usage information.
     --version      Prints the version number and date of the installed uuid(3) library.
     --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.

EXAMPLES

     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
