modxslt-config(1)

NAME

modxslt-config - program to return libmodxslt configura

tion

SYNOPSIS

modxslt-config    [--prefix]    [--exec-prefix]   [--libs]
[--libtool-libs] [--includes]  [--cppflags]  [--cflags]  [--list]
[--query=VAR] [--show=VAR] [--version]

DESCRIPTION

modxslt-config can be used to query the status of an in

stalled libmodxslt and to access its compile time parameters/op

tions.

The main idea behind modxslt-config (or any other foo-con

fig) is to provide an easy way for configre scripts and makefiles

to use a given library. The configure script of a package using

libmodxslt should try to search for modxslt-config, while the

makefiles will try to compile the package using the variables

found using the modxslt-config command.

OPTIONS

--prefix

Returns libmodxslt install prefix, as specified to

the configure script

--exec-prefix

Returns libmodxslt install exec-prefix, as speci

fied to the configure script

--libs Returns the parameters to be used with ld to link

your binaries with libmodxslt

--libtool-libs

Returns the parameters to be used with libtool to

link your binaries with libmodxslt

--includes

Returns the parameters to be used with cc to allow

your .c files to include libmodxslt headers

--cppflags

Returns the parameters to be used with cpp (the c

preprocessor) to succesfully compile your .c files using libmod

xslt headers

--cflags

Returns the parameters specified to cc during lib

modxslt compilation

--list modxslt-config allows you to access any other vari

able specified or detected by the libmodxslt configure script.

This options lists all known varaibles and their raw values (with

shell variables not substituted)

--query=VAR

shows the value of variable VAR, expanding any

shell variables therein

--show=VAR

same as --query, but shell variables are not ex

panded

--version

Show version of libmodxslt installed on this system

If called without parameters, the help screen is dis

played. More than one parameter can be specified at the same

time.

EXAMPLES

$ modxslt-config --query=sysconfdir /usr/local/etc
$ modxslt-config --show=sysconfdir ${prefix}/etc
$ modxslt-config --prefix
/usr/local
$ modxslt-config --cflags
-g -O2 -D_REENTRANT
$ cc `modxslt-config --includes` `modxslt-config --libs`

`modxslt-config --cppflags` myownprogram.c -o myownprogram

RETURN VALUES

modxslt-config exits with status 1 in case no argument was

supplied and the help screen was displayed. Status 2 is returned

whenever an argument wich does not need any additional parameter

is encountered with an unnecessary parameter (like --prefix=fuf

fa). Status 3 is returned when an argument which needs an addi

tional parameter is encountered without the needed parameter

(like --query), while 4 is returned when an unknown argument is

specified. Any other exit status should be interpreted according

ly to the shell being used.
