NAME

       gdome-config - script to get information about the installed version of gdome2

SYNOPSIS

       gdome-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--libs] [--cflags] [--version] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       gdome-config  is  a  tool  that is used to determine the compile and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
       gdome2.

OPTIONS

       gdome-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of gdome2 on the standard output.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a gdome2 program.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a gdome2 program.

       --prefix=DIR
	       If specified, use DIR instead of the installation prefix that gdome2 was built with when computing the output for the --cflags  and
	       --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix=DIR
