pthread-config1

Usage

Version

GNU Pth 1.2.3 (04-Feb-2000)

Overview

The pthread-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the pthread emulation API of the GNU Portable Threads (pth) library. It can be used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link the application against the pth(3) library.

Options

pthread-config accepts the following options:

--help

Prints the short usage information.

--version

Prints the version number and date of the installed pth(3) library.

--cflags

Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the pth(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the CFLAGS variable of the applications Makefile.

--ldflags

Prints the linker flags (-L) which are needed to link the application with the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the LDFLAGS variable of the applications Makefile.

--libs

Prints the library flags (-l) which are needed to link the application with the pth(3) library. The output is usually added to the LIBS variable of the applications Makefile.

Examples

 CC=cc
 CFLAGS=-O `pthread-config --cflags`
 LDFLAGS=`pthread-config --ldflags`
 LIBS=-lm `pthread-config --libs`
 
 all: foo
 foo: foo.o
     $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
 foo.o: foo.c
     $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c
