orbit-config - helper script for building with ORBit

orbit-config is a tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use the orbit library. It is also used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with orbit.

The argument client is used for compiling an orbit client, and server for compiling an orbit server. In most cases, you will use one (or both) of the options --cflags or --libs (depending on whether you are compiling or linking.

orbit-config accepts the following options:

--version

Print the currently installed version of library on the standard output.

--help

Print a usage summary.

--cflags

Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library.

--libs

Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library.

--prefix=PREFIX

If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that library 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 library was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

--use-service=SERVICE

If specified, provide additional flags (if any) for using the specified service. Known values for SERVICE are: module CosNaming, interfaces LNameComponent, LName.
