NAME
       gpgrt-config - Helper script to get information about the installed
       version of gpg libraries

SYNOPSIS
       gpgrt-config [options] [ module ]


DESCRIPTION
       gpgrt-config is a script tool that is used by the autoconf macros
       shipped with gnupg software (e.g., AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR and AM_PATH_GPGME)
       to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to
       compile and link programs that use the specific library (e.g., libgpg-
       error or libgpgme). gpgrt-config uses pkg-config .pc files as data
       source.

       Apart from options gpgrt-config accepts a single argument module
       specifying the basename (without the ".pc"-suffix) of the pkg-config
       file to be used as input. module will default to gpg-error if it is not
       specified.


OPTIONS
       gpgrt-config accepts the following options:


       --libdir=LIBDIR
	      Parent directory path of pkgconfig file search path.  e.g.,
	      ‘gpgrt-config --libdir=/usr/lib --exists gpgme’ will parse
	      ‘/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gpgme.pc’.


       --exists
	      Test whether the pkg-config file ‘module.pc’ exist and exits
	      with success or error accordingly.


       --modversion
	      Print the currently installed version of module on the standard
	      output.


       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program
	      using the module.


       --cflags
	      Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program
	      using the module.


       --static
	      Modifies output if linking statically instead of dynamically.


       --variable=VARNAME
	      Output variable VARNAME from the module's pkg-config file.


BUGS
       gpgrt-config is tried to be compatible to pkg-config, and to support
       cross build well, but it is not intended to be a replacement.
