# plplot\_libtool(1)

Build and link wrapper for the PLplot library

## NAME

plplot\_libtool - Build and link wrapper for the PLplot library

## SYNOPSIS

**plplot\_libtool** \[options\] \[commands\]

## DESCRIPTION

**plplot\_libtool** is a program that provides support for compiling programs and linking them against the PLplot library.  It is actually a verbatim copy of the libtool script used to build PLplot itself.

For a complete description of the options available, please see the documentation of libtool.

## EXAMPLE

```
    plplot_libtool --make=link gcc -I/usr/include/plplot -lplplotd \
        prog.c -o prog
```

(This example works when PLplot is configure with --prefix=/usr and --with-double.)
