DESCRIPTION
       gimptool 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 can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths Gimp was compiled with. This is especially  useful
       in Makefiles.

       On  Unix,  gimptool  is	a script. On Windows, it is a program. They should be more or less compatible. This manual page describes the Unix
       script version.

OPTIONS
       gimptool 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 dont actually execute them. Useful for making dry runs for testing.

       --just-print
	       Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Same as -n.

       --dry-run
	       Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Same as -n.

       --recon Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Same as -n.

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

ENVIRONMENT
       GTK_CONFIG
	       to get the location of the gtk-config program.

       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 prefered flags for passing to the linker.

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