DESCRIPTION
gimptool is a tool that can, among other things, build
plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are dis
tributed in one source file.
gimptool 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 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 com
mands.
--silent
Run silently without echoing any of the build com
mands. Same as --quiet.
-n Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually
execute them. Useful for making dry runs for test
ing.
Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually
execute them. Same as -n.
--dry-run
Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually
execute them. Same as -n.
--recon Test mode. Print the commands but dont 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 installa
tion prefix that Gimp was built with when comput
ing 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 installa
tion 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
GTK_CONFIG
to get the location of the gtk-config program.
CC to get the name of the desired C compiler.
CFLAGS to get the preferred flags to pass to the C com
piler for plug-in building.
LDFLAGS to get the prefered flags for passing to the
linker.
build process. For example, LIBS=-lintl .
