uuid-config1

Usage

Overview

The uuid-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building of applications based on the uuid(3) 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 uuid(3) library.

OSSP uuid also ships pkg-config(1) definition (as ossp-uuid.pc). Use that instead.

Options

--help

Prints the short usage information.

--version

Prints the version number and date of the installed uuid(3) library.

--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.

--datadir

Prints the installation directory of shared data.

--acdir

Prints the installation directory of autoconf data.

--cflags

Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the uuid(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the CFLAGS uuidiable of the applications Makefile.

-ldflags

Prints the linker flags (-L) which are needed to link the application with the uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LDFLAGS uuidiable of the applications Makefile.

-libs

Prints the library flags (-l) which are needed to link the application with the C uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LIBS uuidiable of the applications Makefile.

Examples

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