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. This is especially
useful in Makefiles.
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.

--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 plugins that do not require the GTK libs.
--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 plugins that do not require the GTK libs.
--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 pre-
fix 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 pro-
cess. For example, LIBS=-lintl .
PKG_CONFIG
to get the location of the pkg-config program used to deter-
mine details about your glib, pango and gtk+ installation.
