# gpg-error-config(1)

Script to get information about the installed version of libgpg-error

Part of [gpgrt-config(1)](/gpgrt-config/1.md).

## NAME

**gpgrt-config** - Script to get information about the installed version of libgpg-error

## SYNOPSIS

**gpgrt-config** \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**gpgrt-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 Libgpg-error. It is also used internally to the **.m4** macros for GNU autoconf that are included with Libgpg-error.

## OPTIONS

**gpgrt-config** accepts the following options:

- **--mt**

  Provide output appropriate for multithreaded programs.  **--mt** is only useful when combined with other options, and must be the first option if present.

- **--version**

  Print the currently installed version of Libgpg-error on the standard output.

- **--libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program using Libgpg-error.

- **--cflags**

  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using Libgpg-error.

- **--prefix=*prefix***

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