NAME

pthread-config - Pth pthread library build utility

VERSION

pthsem PTH_VERSION_STR

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:

--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 application 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 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
