# g-wrap-config(1)

script to get information about the installed version of G-Wrap

## NAME

g-wrap-config - script to get information about the installed version of G-Wrap

## SYNOPSIS

**g-wrap-config** \[ --version \] \[ --c-compile-args LANG \| --c-link-args LANG \| --guile-module-directory \]

## DESCRIPTION

**g-wrap-config** is a tool that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs, libraries, and plugins that use G-Wrap.  However, since G-Wrap 1.9, this tool has been deprecated in favor of [pkg-config(1)](/pkg-config/1.md). New code should use the g-wrap-2.0-guile pkg-config module,  **g-wrap-config** only exists for compatibility reasons.

## OPTIONS

- **--c-compile-args LANG**

  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program or library that uses the G-Wrap language binding for LANG.

- **--c-link-args LANG**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program that uses the G-Wrap language binding for LANG.

- **--version**

  Prints the currently installed version of G-Wrap on standard output.

## EXAMPLES

- gcc -o main.o $(g-wrap-config --c-compile-args guile) main.c

  is how you might use **g-wrap-config** to compile a C source file for an executable program.

- gcc -o my\_app $(g-wrap-config --c-link-args guile) main.o util.o

  is how you might use **g-wrap-config** to link compiled objects into an executable program.
