NAME

       gauche-config - retrieve configuration parameters of Gauche

SYNOPSIS

       gauche-config option

DESCRIPTION

       Gauche-config  displays  various  parameters  specified  at  the configuration time of the
       Gauche Scheme implementation.  It can be used in Makefile and other configuration  scripts
       that uses Gauche.

OPTIONS

   General parameters
       -V   Gauche version.

       --reconfigure
            Prints  the  command  line  used to configure the current Gauche installation.  It is
            pretty handy to configure another Gauche source tree  with  the  same  configuration;
            just type `gauche-config --reconfigure | sh'.

   Parameters to compile an application using Gauche
       -I, -L, -l
              List of "-I" options (include directories), "-L" options (library directories), and
              "-l"  options  (libraries)  for  the  compiler  which  are  required   to   compile
              applications that links Gauche library.

       --cc   Name of the compiler used to compile the current installation.

       --ac   Directory name that contains Gauche specific autoconf macro.

       --arch The architecture signature, which is used in the pathname of architecture-dependent
              files, e.g. "i686-pc-linux-gnu".

   Parameters to install files
       --syslibdir, --sysarchdir, --sysincdir
              Directories where the Gauche core  system's  Scheme  files,  architecture-dependent
              files,  and  header files are installed, respectively.  These directories belong to
              Gauche core; additional packages should not put files in them.

       --sitelibdir, --sitearchdir, --siteincdir
              Directories where the additional packages  will  put  Scheme  files,  architecture-
              dependent files, and header files, respectively.

       --pkglibdir, --pkgarchdir, --pkgincdir
              Same  as  --sitelibdir  etc,  except  that  the  base  directory  name  is  left as
              `${datadir}'.  The result is suitable to be embedded in  Makefiles,  for  the  base
              directory  could  be  overridden  at  build  time  rather than configure time.  The
              default template for Gauche extension packages use these options.

       --mandir, --infodir
              Directories where gauche manpage and info docs are installed.

   Parameters to compile Gauche extention
       --object-suffix
              Extension of the compiled objects (e.g. 'o').

       --executable-suffix
              Suffix of the executable (usually empty on Unix variants, and  '.exe'  on  Windows.
              Note  that  '.'  is  a  part  of suffix in this option, as opposed to other -suffix
              options.

       --so-suffix
              Extension of the dynamically loadable (dlopen-able) modules (e.g. 'so' or 'dll').

       --so-cflags
              Flags required to compile shared object.

       --so-ldflags
              Flags required to link a gauche extension.

       --so-libs
              Libraries to be linked with a gauche extension.

       --dylib-suffix
              Suffix for dynamically linked libraries.  Some unix variants require special suffix
              (such as 'dylib').  On other platforms this is the same as '--so-suffix'.

       --dylib-ldflags
              Flags required to link dynamically linked library file.  Some unix variants require
              special flags.  On other platforms this is the same as '--so-ldflags'.

       --rpath-flag
              Compler flag(s) to embed RPATH in the binary.

       --libgauche-so
              The name of shared library of libgauche.
