regina-engine-config - get information about the installed version of Regina

regina-engine-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags]

regina-engine-config is used to determine which compiler and linker flags should be used with programs that wish to incorporate the mathematical engine of Regina. This engine is provided by the library libregina-engine.so.

Regina is a topological calculator with a bent towards normal surface theory. It allows 3-manifolds to be created and manipulated and their properties of interest to be determined.

regina-engine-config accepts the following options.

--prefix=DIR

If specified, use DIR instead of the installation prefix that Regina 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 is not specified. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. If no DIR is specified then the current installation prefix will be written to standard output.

--exec-prefix=DIR

If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that Regina was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. If no DIR is specified then the current installation exec prefix will be written to standard output.

--version

Print the currently installed version of Regina.

--libs

Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program against the Regina calculation engine.

--cflags

Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program that uses the Regina calculation engine.
