DESCRIPTION

       gimptool-2.0 is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file.

       gimptool-2.0 can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths GIMP was compiled with. gimptool-2.0 uses pkg-
       config for this task. For use in Makefiles, it is recommended that you use pkg-config directly instead of calling gimptool-2.0.

OPTIONS

       gimptool-2.0 accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of GIMP on the standard output.

       --help  Print out the help blurb, showing commonly used commandline options.

       --quiet Run quietly without echoing any of the build commands.

       --silent
	       Run silently without echoing any of the build commands. Same as --quiet.

       -n      Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Useful for making dry runs for testing.

       --just-print
	       Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n.

       --dry-run
	       Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n.

       --recon Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n.

       --msvc-syntax
	       Useful on Windows. Outputs the compiler and linker flags in the syntax used by Microsoft's toolchain. Passed to the pkg-config com-
	       mand that does most of gimptool-2.0's work.

       --bindir
	       Outputs the bindir used to install the GIMP.

       --sbindir
	       Outputs the sbindir used to install the GIMP.

	       Outputs the libexecdir used to install the GIMP.

       --datadir
	       Outputs the datadir used to install the GIMP.

       --sysconfdir
	       Outputs the sysconfdir used to install the GIMP.

       --sharedstatedir
	       Outputs the sharedstatedir used to install the GIMP.

       --localstatedir
	       Outputs the localstatedir used to install the GIMP.

       --libdir
	       Outputs the libdir used to install the GIMP.

       --infodir
	       Outputs the infodir used to install the GIMP.

       --mandir
	       Outputs the mandir used to install the GIMP.

       --includedir
	       Outputs the includedir used to install the GIMP.

       --gimpdatadir
	       Outputs the actual directory where the GIMP data files were installed.

       --gimpplugindir
	       Outputs the actual directory where the GIMP plug-ins were installed.

       --build plug-in.c
	       Compile and link plug-in.c into a GIMP plug-in.

       --build-strip plug-in.c
	       Compile,link, and strip plug-in.c into a GIMP plug-in.

       --install plug-in.c
	       Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins)

       --install-strip plug-in.c
	       Compile, link,strip, and install plug-in.c into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins)

       --install-admin plug-in.c
	       Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

       --install-bin plug-in
	       Install plug-in into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins)

       --install-admin-bin plug-in

       --install-bin-strip plug-in
	       Install stripped plug-in into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.6/plug-ins)

       --install-admin-bin-strip plug-in
	       Install stripped plug-in into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory (/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GIMP plug-in.

ENVIRONMENT

       CC      to get the name of the desired C compiler.

       CFLAGS  to get the preferred flags to pass to the C compiler for plug-in building.

       DESTDIR to add a prefix to the install/uninstall path.

       LDFLAGS to get the preferred flags for passing to the linker.

       LIBS    for passing extra libs that may be needed in the build process. For example, LIBS=-lintl .

       PKG_CONFIG
	       to get the location of the pkg-config program that is used to determine details about your glib, pango, gtk+ and gimp installation.
