## NAME

## SYNOPSIS

**filmgimptool** \[--prefix*\[=DIR\]*\] \[--exec-prefix*\[=DIR\]*\] \[--version\] \[--libs\] \[--cflags\] \[--build *plug-in.c*\] \[--install *plug-in.c*\] \[--install-admin *plug-in.c*\] \[--install-bin *plug-in*\] \[--install-admin-bin *plug-in*\] \[--install-script *script.scm*\] \[--install-admin-script *script.scm*\]

## DESCRIPTION

*filmgimptool* is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file.

*filmgimptool* can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths *Film Gimp* was compiled with. This is especially useful in Makefiles.

## OPTIONS

*filmgimptool* accepts the following options:

- **--version**

  Print the currently installed version of *Film Gimp* on the standard output.

- **--build *plug-in.c***

  Compile and link *plug-in.c* into a *Film Gimp* plug-in.

- **--install *plug-in.c***

  Compile, link, and install *plug-in.c* into the user's personal *Film Gimp* plug-in directory (**$HOME**/.filmgimp/plug-ins)

- **--install-admin *plug-in.c***

  Compile, link, and install *plug-in.c* into the system-wide *Film Gimp* plug-in directory (**$PREFIX**/lib/filmgimp/0.14/plug-ins)

- **--install-bin *plug-in***

  Install *plug-in* into the user's personal *Film Gimp* plug-in directory (**$HOME**/.filmgimp/plug-ins)

- **--install-admin-bin *plug-in***

  Install *plug-in* into the system-wide *Film Gimp* plug-in directory (**$PREFIX**/lib/filmgimp/0.14/plug-ins)

- **--install-script *script.scm***

  Install *script.scm* into the user's personal *Film Gimp* script directory (**$HOME**/.filmgimp/scripts)

- **--install-admin-script *script.scm***

  Install *script.scm* into the system-wide *Film Gimp* script directory (**$PREFIX**/share/filmgimp/0.13/scripts)

- **--libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a *film Gimp* plug-in.

- **--cflags**

  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a *Film Gimp* plug-in.

- **--prefix=PREFIX**

  If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that *Film Gimp* was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

- **--exec-prefix=PREFIX**

  If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that *Film Gimp* was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

## ENVIRONMENT

- **GTK\_CONFIG**

  to get the location of the gtk-config program.

- **CC**

  to get the name of the desired C compiler.

- **CFLAGS**

  to get the preferred flags to pass to the C compiler for plug-in building.
