Open options for cloud computing

08-19-2008 01:00 PM
Some cloud computing vendors, such as 3tera and Nirvani, push their own proprietary platforms and tools, which forces adopters to limit their options and work in a restricted or closed architecture. When these established vendors say cloud, they mean their cloud. As a result, Web developers may believe that, in order to use cloud computing, they must accept limitations in the way they write and build their applications. But that view is a misconception; open standards for cloud computing are already in place and are beingtweaked.

libgcrypt-config

LIBGCRYPT(1)							       1.4.1							      LIBGCRYPT(1)

NAME

       libgcrypt-config - script to get information about the installed version of libgcrypt.

SYNOPSIS

       libgcrypt-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags] [LIBRARIES]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       libgcrypt-config accepts the following options:

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

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

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

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