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. gimptool-2.0 uses pkg-config for this task. For use in
Makefiles, it is recommended that you use pkg-config directly instead of calling
gimptool-2.0.

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.

--msvc-syntax
Useful on Windows. Outputs the compiler and linker flags in the syntax used by
Microsoft's toolchain. Passed to the pkg-config command that does most of
gimptool-2.0's work.

--bindir
Outputs the bindir used to install the GIMP.

--sbindir
Outputs the sbindir used to install the GIMP.

--libexecdir
Outputs the libexecdir used to install the GIMP.

--datadir
Outputs the datadir used to install the GIMP.

--sysconfdir
Outputs the sysconfdir used to install the GIMP.

--sharedstatedir
Outputs the sharedstatedir used to install the GIMP.

--localstatedir
Outputs the localstatedir used to install the GIMP.

--libdir
Outputs the libdir used to install the GIMP.

--infodir
Outputs the infodir used to install the GIMP.

--mandir
Outputs the mandir used to install the GIMP.

--includedir
Outputs the includedir used to install the GIMP.

--gimpdatadir
Outputs the actual directory where the GIMP data files were installed.

--gimpplugindir
Outputs the actual directory where the GIMP plug-ins were installed.

--build plug-in.c
Compile and link plug-in.c into a GIMP plug-in.

--build-strip plug-in.c
Compile,link, and strip plug-in.c into a GIMP plug-in.

--install plug-in.c

directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins)

--install-strip plug-in.c
Compile, link,strip, and install plug-in.c into the user's personal GIMP plug-in
directory ($HOME/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins)

--install-admin plug-in.c
Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory
(${exec_prefix}/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

--install-bin plug-in
Install plug-in into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory
($HOME/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins)

--install-admin-bin plug-in
Install plug-in into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory
(${exec_prefix}/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

--install-bin-strip plug-in
Install stripped plug-in into the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory
($HOME/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins)

--install-admin-bin-strip plug-in
Install stripped plug-in into the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory
(${exec_prefix}/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

--install-script script.scm
Install script.scm into the user's personal GIMP script directory
($HOME/.gimp-2.8/scripts)

--install-admin-script script.scm
Install script.scm into the system-wide GIMP script directory
(${datarootdir}/gimp/2.0/scripts)

--uninstall-bin plug-in
Uninstall plug-in from the user's personal GIMP plug-in directory
($HOME/.gimp-2.8/plug-ins)

--uninstall-admin-bin plug-in
Uninstall plug-in from the system-wide GIMP plug-in directory
(${exec_prefix}/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins)

--uninstall-script script.scm
Uninstall script.scm from the user's personal GIMP script directory
($HOME/.gimp-2.8/scripts)

--uninstall-admin-script script.scm
Uninstall script.scm from the system-wide GIMP script directory
(${datarootdir}/gimp/2.0/scripts)

--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 plug-ins
that do not require the GTK+ libraries.

--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 plug-ins
that do not require the GTK+ libraries.

--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 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

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.

LDFLAGS to get the preferred flags for passing to the linker.

LIBS for passing extra libs that may be needed in the build process. For example,
LIBS=-lintl .

PKG_CONFIG
to get the location of the pkg-config program that is used to determine details
about your glib, pango, gtk+ and gimp installation.
