guile-config(1) General Commands Manual guile-config(1) NAME guile-config - a tool designed to help guile users to get guile configuration information SYNOPSIS /usr/bin/guile-config [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION On most systems, you should not need to tell the compiler and linker explicitly where they can find `libguile.h' and `libguile'. When Guile has been installed in a peculiar way, or when you are on a peculiar system, things might not be so easy and you might need to pass addi- tional `-I' or `-L' options to the compiler. Guile provides the util- ity program `guile-config' to help you find the right values for these options. You would typically run `guile-config' during the configura- tion phase of your program and use the obtained information in the Makefile. OPTIONS guile-config link Print the linker command-line flags necessary to link against libguile, and any other libraries it requires. guile-config compile Print C compiler flags for compiling code that uses Guile. This includes any `-I' flags needed to find Guile's header files. guile-config info [VAR] Display the value of the Makefile variable VAR used when Guile was built. If VAR is omitted, display all Makefile variables. Use this command to find out where Guile was installed, where it will look for Scheme code at run-time, and so on. EXAMPLES You can use guile-config for a Scheme program: (use-modules (scripts guile-config)) (guile-config . args) => string (guile-config/split . args) => list of strings ARGS is one of the "commands" above, such as "info" or "compile", fol- lowed by an additional optional specifier. Either element of ARGS can be a symbol or a string. For example, here are two sets of equivalent invocations: (guile-config 'info 'pkgdatadir) (guile-config 'info "pkgdatadir") (guile-config "info" 'pkgdatadir) (guile-config "info" "pkgdatadir") (guile-config 'compile) (guile-config "compile") These procedures basically capture the output as if guile-config were invoked as a command from the shell. The former discards the final newline. The latter additionally discards whitespace, and always returns a list (sometimes of length 1). Behavior is undefined for null ARGS or unrecognized commands.
