VAL-CONFIG(1)

NAME
val-config - OSSP val build utility

VERSION
OSSP val VAL_VERSION_STR

SYNOPSIS
val-config [--help] [--version] [--all] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--bindir] [--libdir] [--includedir] [--mandir] [--datadir] [--acdir] [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs] [--libs++]

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

OPTIONS
val-config accepts the following options: Prints the short usage information. Prints the version number and date of the installed val(3) library. Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not VAL 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 installation directory of shared data. Prints the installation directory of autoconf data. Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the val(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 val(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 C val(3) library. The output is usually added to the "LIBS" variable of the applications "Makefile". Prints the library flags ("-l") which are needed to link the application with the C++ val(3) library. The output is usually added to the "LIBS" variable of the applications "Makefile".

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