NAME

gauche-config - retrieve configuration parameters of Gauche

SYNOPSIS

gauche-config option

DESCRIPTION

Gauche-config displays various parameters specified at the configuration time of the Gauche Scheme implementation. It can be used in Makefile and other configuration scripts that uses Gauche.

OPTIONS

General parameter

-V: The current Gauche version.

Parameters to compile applications using Gauche

-I: Include path options required to compile programs using Gauche (Note: This doesn't work if Gauche installation directory path contains whitespaces. See --incdirs below.)
-L: Library path options required to link programs using Gauche (Note: This doesn't work if Gauche installation directory path contains whitespaces. See --archdirs below.)
-l: Link library options required to link programs using Gauche.
--cc: The name of the C compiler used to compile this Gauche.
--cpp: The command to run the C preprocessor.
--ac: The directory that contains Gauche-specific autoconf macros.
--reconfigure: The command line used to configure the current installation.
--arch: The autoconf-style architecture signature (cpu-vendor-kernel-os).
--incdirs, --archdirs: The list of directory names to be looked for include files and libraries, respectively. Each directory name may be quoted if it contains whitespaces, and separated by ':' on Unix platforms, or by ';' on Windows platforms.
--local-incdir, --local-libdir: These are '-I' and '-L' flags for additional local headers/libraries to search, given by '--with-local' configure flags. Note that those are also included in '-I', '-L', '--incdirs', and '--archdirs'.

Parameters to install files

--prefix: The directory prefix set by configure.
--sysincdir, --siteincdir, --pkgincdir: Directories where system|site|package header files of extensions go.
--syslibdir, --sitelibdir, --pkglibdir: Directories where system|site|package scheme files go.
--sysarchdir, --sitearchdir, --pkgarchdir: Directories where system|site|package DSO files go.
--mandir, --infodir: Directories where gauche manpage and info docs are installed.

Parameters to help building extensions

--object-suffix: The extension of the compiled objects (e.g. 'o' or 'obj').
--executable-suffix: The extension of the executable including a period (empty on Unix systems,
--so-suffix: The extension for dynamically loadable (dlopen-able) modules (e.g. 'so').
--so-cflags: Additional CFLAGS to create dynamically loadable modules.
--so-ldflags: Additional LDFLAGS to create dynamically loadable modules.
--so-libs: Additional libraries required to create dynamically loadable modules.
--dylib-suffix: The extension for dynamically linked libraries (as opposed to dlopen()ed) Usually the same as --so-suffix, but OSX wants 'dylib'.
--dylib-ldflags: LDFLAGS to create dynamically linked libraries.
--rpath-flag: Compiler flag(s) to embed RPATH
--default-cflags: This is the CFLAGS used to compile Gauche, and to be used to compile extensions as well.
--cppflags: Compiler flag(s) passed to C preprocessor
--static-libs: List of library link flags ('-llib') required to link Gauche statically. Similar to '-l', but this includes the libraries that are used for extension modules, and also the static library itself, that is -lgauche-static-X.X.
--libgauche-so: The base name of dynamically linked libgauche.
