# cppunit-config(1)

script to get information about the installed version of cppunit

## NAME

cppunit-config - script to get information about the installed version of cppunit

## SYNOPSIS

**cppunit-config** \[--prefix*\[=DIR\]*\] \[--exec-prefix*\[=DIR\]*\] \[--version\] \[--libs\] \[--cflags\]

## DESCRIPTION

*cppunit-config* is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use *cppunit*. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with *cppunit*.

## OPTIONS

*cppunit-config* accepts the following options:

- **--version**

  Print the currently installed version of *cppunit* on the standard output.

- **--libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a *cppunit* program.

- **--cflags**

  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a *cppunit* program.

- **--prefix**

  Print the prefix with which *cppunit* was compiled.

- **--prefix=PREFIX**

  If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that *cppunit* 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**

  Print the exec-prefix with which *cppunit* was compiled.

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

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