.SH NAME
.B gpgrt-config
\- Helper script to get information about the installed version of gpg libraries
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B  gpgrt-config
.RI [ options ]
.I [ module ]

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBgpgrt-config\fR is a script tool that is used by the autoconf macros
shipped with gnupg software (e.g. AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR and AM_PATH_GPGME) to
determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile
and link programs that use the specific library (e.g. libgpg-error or
libgpgme). \fBgpgrt-config\fR uses pkg-config .pc files as data source.

Apart from options \fBgpgrt-config\fR accepts a single argument
\fBmodule\fR specifying the basename (without the ".pc"-suffix) of the
pkg-config file to be used as input. \fBmodule\fR will default to
\fBgpg-error\fR if it is not specified.

.SH OPTIONS

\fBgpgrt-config\fR accepts the following options:

.TP
.B  --libdir=\fILIBDIR\fR
Parent directory path of pkgconfig file search path.
e.g. \(oqgpgrt-config --libdir=/usr/lib --exists gpgme\(cq
will parse \(oq\fI/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gpgme.pc\fR\(cq.

.TP
.B   --exists
Test whether the pkg-config file \(oq\fImodule.pc\fR\(cq exist and exits with
success or error accordingly.

.TP
.B  --modversion
Print the currently installed version of \fBmodule\fR on the standard output.

.TP
.B  --libs
Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program using the
\fBmodule\fR.

.TP
.B  --cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the
\fBmodule\fR.

.TP
.B  --static
Modifies output if linking statically instead of dynamically.

.TP
.B  --variable=\fIVARNAME\fR
Output variable VARNAME from the module's pkg-config file.

.P

.SH BUGS

\fBgpgrt-config\fR is tried to be compatible to pkg-config, and to
support cross build well, but it is not intended to be a replacement.
