PYTHON-CONFIG(1)					      General Commands Manual						  PYTHON-CONFIG(1)

NAME
python-config - output build options for python C/C++ extensions or embedding SYNOPSIS
python-config [ --prefix ] [ --exec-prefix ] [ --includes ] [ --libs ] [ --cflags ] [ --ldflags ] [ --extension-suffix ] [ --configdir ] [ --help ] DESCRIPTION
python-config helps compiling and linking programs, which embed the Python interpreter, or extension modules that can be loaded dynamically (at run time) into the interpreter. OPTIONS
--cflags print the C compiler flags. --ldflags print the flags that should be passed to the linker. --includes similar to --cflags but only with -I options (path to python header files). --libs similar to --ldflags but only with -l options (used libraries). --prefix prints the prefix (base directory) under which python can be found. --exec-prefix print the prefix used for executable program directories (such as bin, sbin, etc). --extension-suffix print suffix used for extension modules (including the _d modified for debug builds). --configdir prints the path to the configuration directory under which the Makefile, etc. can be found). --help print the usage message. EXAMPLES
To build the singe-file c program prog against the python library, use gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) progr.cpp -o progr.cpp The same in a makefile: CFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --cflags) LDFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --ldflags) all: progr To build a dynamically loadable python module, use gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) -shared -fPIC progr.cpp -o progr.so SEE ALSO

UUID-CONFIG(1)						   Universally Unique Identifier					    UUID-CONFIG(1)

NAME
uuid-config - OSSP uuid API build utility VERSION
OSSP uuid 1.6.2 (04-Jul-2008) SYNOPSIS
uuid-config [--help] [--version] [--all] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix] [--bindir] [--libdir] [--includedir] [--mandir] [--datadir] [--acdir] [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs] DESCRIPTION
The uuid-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring and building applications based on the uuid(3) library. It can be used to query the C compiler and linker flags which are required to correctly compile and link the application against the uuid(3) library. OPTIONS
uuid-config accepts the following options: --help Prints the short usage information. --version Prints the version number and date of the installed uuid(3) library. --all Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags which are not OSSP uuid specific. --prefix Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files --exec-prefix Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files. --bindir Prints the installation directory of binaries. --libdir Prints the installation directory of libraries. --includedir Prints the installation directory of include headers. --mandir Prints the installation directory of manual pages. --datadir Prints the installation directory of shared data. --acdir Prints the installation directory of autoconf data. --cflags Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the uuid(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the CFLAGS uuidiable of the applications Makefile. --ldflags Prints the linker flags (-L) which are needed to link the application with the uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LDFLAGS uuidiable of the applications Makefile. --libs Prints the library flags (-l) which are needed to link the application with the C uuid(3) library. The output is usually added to the LIBS uuidiable of the applications Makefile. EXAMPLE
CC = cc CFLAGS = -O `uuid-config --cflags` LDFLAGS = `uuid-config --ldflags` LIBS = -lm `uuid-config --libs` all: foo foo: foo.o $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS) foo.o: foo.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c SEE ALSO
