PTHREAD-CONFIG(1)	POSIX Threading API of GNU Pth	     PTHREAD-CONFIG(1)

NAME

pthread-config - Pth pthread library build utility

VERSION

GNU Pth 2.0.7 (08-Jun-2006)

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 config- uring 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: --help Prints the short usage information. --version Prints the version number and date of the installed pth(3) library. --all Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not Pth specific. --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. --cflags 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". --ldflags Prints the linker flags ("-L") which are needed to link the appli- cation with the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the "LDFLAGS" variable of the applications "Makefile". --libs Prints the library flags ("-l") which are needed to link the appli- cation 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
