DESCRIPTION
gimptool-2.0 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-2.0 can also be used by programs that need to know what
libraries and include-paths GIMP was compiled with. gimptool-2.0
uses pkg-config for this task. For use in Makefiles, it is recommended
that you use pkg-config directly instead of calling gimptool-2.0.
OPTIONS
gimptool-2.0 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 don't actually execute them. Useful for
making dry runs for testing.
--just-print
Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n.
--dry-run
Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n.
--recon
Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them. Same as -n.
--bindir

--sbindir
Outputs the sbindir used to install the GIMP.
--libexecdir

--sysconfdir
Outputs the sysconfdir used to install the GIMP.
--sharedstatedir

--infodir
Outputs the infodir used to install the GIMP.
--mandir
Outputs the mandir used to install the GIMP.
--includedir
Outputs the includedir used to install the GIMP.
--gimpdatadir

--libs
Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GIMP plug-in.
--libs-noui
Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a GIMP plug-in, for
plug-ins that do not require the GTK+ libraries.
--cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GIMP plug-in.
--clags-noui
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a GIMP plug-in
for plug-ins that do not require the GTK+ libraries.
--prefix=PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that GIMP
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 was built with when computing the output for the --cflags
and --libs options. This option must be specified before any
--libs or --cflags options.
ENVIRONMENT
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 preferred flags for passing to the linker.
LIBS
for passing extra libs that may be needed in the build process. For example,
LIBS=-lintl .
PKG_CONFIG
to get the location of the pkg-config program that is used to determine
details about your glib, pango, gtk+ and gimp installation.
