VAL-CONFIG(1)			 Value Access			 VAL-CONFIG(1)

NAME
       val-config - OSSP val build utility

VERSION
       OSSP val VAL_VERSION_STR

SYNOPSIS
       val-config [--help] [--version] [--all] [--prefix] [--exec-prefix]
       [--bindir] [--libdir] [--includedir] [--mandir] [--datadir] [--acdir]
       [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs] [--libs++]

DESCRIPTION
       The val-config program is a little helper utility for easy configuring
       and building applications based on the val(3) library.  It can be used
       to query the C compiler and linker flags which are required to cor‐
       rectly compile and link the application against the val(3) library.

OPTIONS
       val-config accepts the following options:

       --help
	   Prints the short usage information.

       --version
	   Prints the version number and date of the installed val(3) library.

       --all
	   Forces the output of all flags, that is, including extra flags
	   which are not VAL specific.

       --prefix
	   Prints the installation prefix of architecture independent files

       --exec-prefix
	   Prints the installation prefix of architecture dependent files.

       --bindir
	   Prints the installation directory of binaries.

       --libdir
	   Prints the installation directory of libraries.

       --includedir
	   Prints the installation directory of include headers.

       --mandir
	   Prints the installation directory of manual pages.

       --datadir
	   Prints the installation directory of shared data.

       --acdir
	   Prints the installation directory of autoconf data.

       --cflags
	   Prints the C compiler flags which are needed to compile the
	   val(3)-based application. The output is usually added to the
	   "CFLAGS" variable of the applications "Makefile".

       --ldflags
	   Prints the linker flags ("-L") which are needed to link the appli‐
	   cation with the val(3) library. The output is usually added to the
	   "LDFLAGS" variable of the applications "Makefile".

       --libs
	   Prints the library flags ("-l") which are needed to link the appli‐
	   cation with the C val(3) library. The output is usually added to
	   the "LIBS" variable of the applications "Makefile".

       --libs++
	   Prints the library flags ("-l") which are needed to link the appli‐
	   cation with the C++ val(3) library. The output is usually added to
	   the "LIBS" variable of the applications "Makefile".

EXAMPLE
	CC	= cc
	CFLAGS	= -O `val-config --cflags`
	LDFLAGS = `val-config --ldflags`
	LIBS	= -lm `val-config --libs`

	all: foo
	foo: foo.o
	    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
	foo.o: foo.c
	    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c

       val(3), cc(1).
