NAME
wx-config - wxWidgets configuration search and query tool
SYNOPSIS
wx-config [ options... ] [ lib... ]
DESCRIPTION
wx-config returns information about the wxWidgets libraries
available on your system. It may be used to retrieve the
information you require to build applications using these
libraries.
Changing the library options you wish to use for an
application previously involved managing alternative con-
figurations by a system dependent means. It is now
possible to select from any of the configurations
installed on your system via this single tool. You can
view all available configurations installed in the
system default prefix with the command wx-config --list and
select from them by using the feature options described
below.
Optional LIB arguments (comma or space separated) may
be used to specify individually the wxWidgets component
libraries that you wish to use, or to specify additional
components not ususally included by default. The magic
token std may be used to import all libraries that would be
used by default if none were specified explicitly. eg. wx-
config --libs std,gizmos
OPTIONS
wx-config accepts the following options with no restric-
tions on their order as was required in previous releases:
Installed root
These options change or query the filesystem root for the
operations listed below.
--prefix[=PREFIX]
Without the optional argument, the current default
pre-fix will be output. If the argument is supplied,
PREFIX will be searched for matching configs in
place of the default. You may use both forms in the
same command.
--exec-prefix=[EXEC-PREFIX]
Similar to --prefix, but acts on the exec-prefix.
If not specified will default to the value of prefix.

User Commands wx-config(1)
Query Options
These options return information about the wxWidgets
default version and installed alternatives.
--list
List all configs in prefix and show those that match
any additional feature options given.
--release
Output the wxWidgets release number.
--version-full
Output the wxWidgets version number in all its glory.
--basename
Output the base name of the wxWidgets libraries.
Feature Options
These options select features which determine which wxWid-
gets configuration to use.
---host=HOST
Specify a (posix extended) regex of host aliases
to match for cross compiled configurations.
eg. --host=i586-mingw32msvc, --host=.* If unspecified,
the default is to match only configurations native
to the build machine.
--toolkit=TOOLKIT
Specify a (posix extended) regex of the toolkits
to match. The toolkit is responsible for look and
feel of the compiled application. eg. gtk, gtk2,
motif, msw. If unspecified the default is to prefer
the system default toolkit, but to match any toolkit in
the absence of a stricter specification.
--version[=VERSION]
Without the optional argument, return the wxWidgets
version. If the argument is supplied it specifies a
(posix extended) regex of the versions to match. If
unspecified the default is to prefer the system
default version, but to match any version in the
absence of a stricter specification.

User Commands wx-config(1)
--unicode[=yes|no]
Specify the default character type for the applica-
tion. If unspecified, the system default will be
preferred, but any type may match in the absence of
a stricter specification.
--debug[=yes|no]
Specify whether to create a debug or release build
for the application. If unspecified, the system
default (release) will be preferred, but any type may
match in the absence of a stricter specification.
Debug builds should never be uploaded to Debian, but
are very useful for finding certain common failure
idioms. You are encouraged to use them during active
development of applications. They are not binary com-
patible with the release libraries.
--static[=yes|no]
Specify whether to statically or dynamically link
wxWidgets libraries into your application. If
unspecified, the system default (dynamic) will be pre-
ferred, but any type may match in the absence of a
stricter specification. Static linking is mainly
useful still for cross ports not natively supported by
Debian, and can be hazardous in conjunction with the
gtk toolkits. Note that static libraries are no longer
supplied in the wxGTK packages any more.
Compiler Options
These options generate output required to build an applica-
tion using a particular wxWidgets configuration.
--libs
Output link flags required for a wxWidgets applica-
tion.
--cppflags
Output parameters required by the C preprocessor.
--cflags
Output parameters required by the C compiler.
--cxxflags
Output parameters required by the C++ compiler.

--cc Output the name of the C compiler $(CC).
--cxx
Output the name of the C++ compiler $(CXX).
--ld Output the linker command.
