PTHREAD-CONFIG(1)

NAME
pthread-config - Pth pthread library build utility

VERSION
GNU Pth .4.0 (24-Mar-2001)

SYNOPSIS
pthread-config [--help] [--version] [--all] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--bindir] [--libdir] [--includedir] [--mandir] [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs]

DESCRIPTION
The pthread-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the pthread emulation API of the GNU Portable Threads (pth) 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 pth(3) library.

OPTIONS
pthread-config accepts the following options: Prints the short usage information. Prints the version number and date of the installed pth(3) library. Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not Pth specific. Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files. Prints the installation directory of binaries. Prints the installation directory of libraries. Prints the installation directory of include headers. Prints the installation directory of manual pages. Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the pth(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the `CFLAGS' variable of the applications `Makefile'. Prints the linker flags (`-L') which are needed to link the application with the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the `LDFLAGS' variable of the applications `Makefile'. Prints the library flags (`-l') which are needed to link the application with the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the `LIBS' variable of the applications `Makefile'.

EXAMPLE
 CC      = cc
 CFLAGS  = -O `pthread-config --cflags`
 LDFLAGS = `pthread-config --ldflags`
 LIBS    = -lm `pthread-config --libs`
 all: foo
 foo: foo.o
     $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
 foo.o: foo.c
     $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c
