wxbased-2.2-config(1)

generate compile time info for wxWindows

Part of wx-config(1).

NAME

wx-config - generate compile time info for wxWindows

SYNOPSIS

wxbase-config
wxgtk-config

wx-config [--version] [--libs] [--gl-libs] [--cppflags] [--cflags] [--cxxflags] [--cc] [--cxx] [--ld] [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]]

DESCRIPTION

wx-config is a tool to determine the compiler and linker flags required for applications using the wxWindows toolkit(s).

wx-config is normally a symlink to one of the port-specific versions like wxbase-config or wxgtk-config which designates the default port to compile applications with. You can override this default either by using one of the specific versions directly, or by changing which version the symlink points to. On Debian systems this can be done using the update-alternatives(8) mechanism.

OPTIONS

wx-config accepts the following options:

--version

What to ALWAYS include in a bug report.
( But of course you already knew that ... )

--libs

Output linker flags for a wxWindows program.

--gl-libs

Output additional linker flags for apps using GLCanvas.

--cppflags

Output build-time preprocessor flags.

--cflags

Output C compiler flags.

--cxxflags

Output C++ compiler flags.

--cc

Output the name of the C compiler $(CC).

--cxx

Output the name of the C++ compiler $(CXX).

--ld

Output the Linker command $(LD).

--prefix=PREFIX

If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that wxWindows 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.

(Translation: this is the root path to the wxWindows headers -- [Ron])

--exec-prefix=PREFIX

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

(Translation: this is the root path to the wxWindows library -- [Ron])
