NAME

       root-config - ROOT utility for your Makefiles

SYNOPSIS

       root-config [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Put lines like

              CFLAGS = $(shell root-config --cflags)
              LIBS   = $(shell root-config --libs)
              GLIBS  = $(shell root-config --glibs)

              %Cint.cxx:Include.h LinkDef.h
                      rootcint -f $@ -c $^

       in you Makefile.

       You  may  also  find  the  automake(1), autoconf(1), and libtool(1) macro file /usr/share/aclocal/root.m4
       useful.  If that macro file isn't installed where Iaclocal will find it, copy the contents to your  local
       acinclude.m4 file.  In the directories you use ROOT libraries, have in your Makefile.am file:

              lib_LTLIBRARIES         = libFoo.la
              pkginclude_HEADERS      = Foo.h
              noinst_HEADERS          = FooCint.h
              libFoo_la_SOURCES       = Foo.cxx FooCint.cxx
              libFoo_la_LDFLAGS       = -version-info 1:0 -R @ROOTLIBDIR@
              libFoo_la_LDADD         = -lCore -lCint @ROOTAUXLIBS@

              BUILT_SOURCES           = FooCint.cxx FooCint.h

              AM_CPPFLAGS             = -I@ROOTINCDIR@
              AM_LDFLAGS              = -L@ROOTLIBDIR@
              CLEANFILES              = *Cint.cxx *Cint.h *~ core

              %Cint.cxx %Cint.h:Include.h LinkDef.h
                      @ROOTCINT@ ‐f $*Cint.cxx ‐c $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $^

       where  you  should  substitute  Foo  with whatever, and list the appropriate source files in the _SOURCES
       variable. In you configure.in file, put:

              AC_PROG_CC
              AC_PROG_CXX
              ROOT_PATH
              AM_PROG_LIBTOOL

       along with any other macros you may need.

       Note that the ROOT_PATH macro takes three optional arguments: the minimal ROOT version to use, action  if
       ROOT is found, and action if ROOT isn't found.  Some examples are

              ROOT_PATH(3.03/05, , AC_MSG_ERROR(Your ROOT version is too old))
              ROOT_PATH(, AC_DEFUN(HAVE_ROOT))

       For example, if you want to compile some part of your source tree conditionally on wether ROOT is present
       or not, you can put in your configure.in file

              ROOT_PATH(,
              [
                AC_DEFUN(HAVE_ROOT)
                have_root=yes
              ])
              AM_CONDITIONAL(GOT_ROOT, test "x$have_root" = "xyes")

       And then in some Makefile.am

              EXTRA_SOURCES       = root_depenent_source.cc
              if GOT_ROOT
              LIBFOOXTRA              = root_depenent_source.cc
              else
              LIBFOOXTRA              =
              endif

              lib_LTLIBRARIES         = libFoo.la
              libFoo_la_SOURCES   = Foo.cc  $(LIBFOOXTRA)

       The full list of substitution variables are:

       ROOTCONF
              full path to root-config

       ROOTEXEC
              full path to root

       ROOTRPATH
              Same as ROOTLIBDIR

OPTIONS

       --help Gives a short list of options available, and exit

       --version
              Report the version number of installed ROOT, and exit.

       --prefix=<prefix>
              If  no arguments is given, reports where ROOT is installed. With an argument of =<prefix>, set the
              base of the subsequent options to <prefix>. If \--exec-prefix  is  passedwith  an  argument,  that
              argument overrides the argument given to \--prefix for the library path.

       --exec-prefix=<prefix>
              If  no  argument  is given, report where the libraries are installed. If an argument is given, use
              that as the installation base directory for the libraries. This option does not affect the include
              path.

       --libdir
              Print the directory where the ROOT libraries are installed.

       --incdir
              Print the directory where the ROOT headers are installed.

       --libs Output a line suitable for linking a program agains the ROOT libraries. No graphics libraries  are
              output.

       --glibs
              As above, but also output for the graphics libraries.

       --cflags
              Output  a  line  suitable  for  compiling a source file againd the ROOT header (class declararion)
              files.

       --new  Put the libNew.so library in the library lists.  This option must be given before  options  --libs
              and --glibs.

       --nonew
              Compatiblity option. Does nothing.

       --auxlibs
              Print auxiliary libraries and/or system linker flags.

       --noauxlibs
              Do  not  print auxiliary libraries and/or system linker flags in the output of --libs and --glibs.
              --auxcflags Print auxiliary compiler flags.

       --noauxcflags
              Do not print auxiliary compiler flags in the output of --cflags.

       --noldflags
              Do not print library path link option in output of --libs and --glibs.
