It's time to learn Scheme
Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:00:00 GMT
Have you ever peeked into one of those bazillion .el files in your Emacs installation's lisp folder and wondered what it meant? Or have you ever looked at a GIMP script .scm file and scratched your head over all the parentheses? Lisp is one of the oldest programming languages still in common use, and Scheme is a streamlined dialect of Lisp. Many universities use Scheme as the language to introduce students to the Computer Science curriculum, and some of their teaching methods are based on the assumption that Scheme is the one language they can count on their students knowing. Even so, many active programmers and system administrators are unfamiliar with Scheme. This article will get you on your way to adding this tool to your developer or sysadmin toolkit.

gimpprint-config

GIMP-PRINT(1)							 GIMP Manual Pages						     GIMP-PRINT(1)

NAME

       gimpprint-config - script to get information about the installed version of gimpprint

SYNOPSIS

       gimpprint-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags]

DESCRIPTION

       gimpprint-config  is  a	tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that
       use GIMP-PRINT. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with GIMP-PRINT.

OPTIONS

       gimpprint-config accepts the following options:

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

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

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

       --prefix=PREFIX
	       If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that GIMP-PRINT was built  with  when  computing  the  output  for  the
	       --cflags  and  --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be
	       specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

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