GAUCHE-CONFIG(1)

💖 GAUCHE-CONFIG 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for gauche-config, part of the Gauche Commands squad ✨ (that's the manual name, we're folding it in up top, you're welcome 🎀)

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gauche-config — grab the configuration parameters of Gauche, no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gauche-config option

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, gauche-config spills the tea on all the various parameters that got specified when Gauche (the Scheme implementation, yes that one 👑) was configured at build time. It's literally built to be used inside Makefiles and other configuration scripts that are using Gauche. she's a helper, she's a vibe, she's giving build-system bestie energy 🫶

💜 OPTIONS 💜

⭐ General parameter

• -V — the current Gauche version. just the version. iconic.

🧚 Parameters to compile applications using Gauche

• -I — the include path options you need to compile programs that use Gauche. (heads up bestie: this doesn't work if the Gauche installation directory path contains whitespaces. go look at --incdirs below instead, fr fr.)
• -L — the library path options you need to link programs that use Gauche. (same deal, lowkey: this doesn't work if the Gauche installation directory path has whitespaces in it. see --archdirs below.)
• -l — the link library options you need to link programs that use Gauche.
• --cc — the name of the C compiler that was used to compile this Gauche.
• --cpp — the command you run to invoke the C preprocessor.
• --ac — the directory holding the Gauche-specific autoconf macros.
• --reconfigure — the command line that was used to configure the current installation.
• --arch — the autoconf-style architecture signature (cpu-vendor-kernel-os).
• --incdirs, --archdirs — the list of directory names to search for include files and libraries respectively. each directory name may be quoted if it contains whitespaces, and they're separated by ':' on Unix platforms, or by ';' on Windows platforms. pick your fighter 💅
• --local-incdir, --local-libdir — these are the -I and -L flags for extra local headers/libraries to search, given by the --with-local configure flags. also note: those are also included in -I, -L, --incdirs, and --archdirs. yes she's in all the group chats 💖

🎀 Parameters to install files

• --prefix — the directory prefix that was set by configure.
• --sysincdir, --siteincdir, --pkgincdir — the directories where system|site|package header files of extensions go.
• --syslibdir, --sitelibdir, --pkglibdir — the directories where system|site|package scheme files go.
• --sysarchdir, --sitearchdir, --pkgarchdir — the directories where system|site|package DSO files go.
• --mandir, --infodir — the directories where the gauche manpage and info docs get installed.

🌈 Parameters to help building extensions

• --object-suffix — the extension of the compiled objects (e.g. 'o' or 'obj').
• --executable-suffix — the extension of the executable including a period (empty on Unix systems,
• --so-suffix — the extension for dynamically loadable (dlopen-able) modules (e.g. 'so').
• --so-cflags — extra CFLAGS to create dynamically loadable modules.
• --so-ldflags — extra LDFLAGS to create dynamically loadable modules.
• --so-libs — extra libraries required to create dynamically loadable modules.
• --dylib-suffix — the extension for dynamically linked libraries (as opposed to dlopen()ed ones). usually the same as --so-suffix, but OSX wants 'dylib'. picky king 👑
• --dylib-ldflags — LDFLAGS to create dynamically linked libraries.
• --rpath-flag — compiler flag(s) to embed RPATH.
• --default-cflags — this is the CFLAGS used to compile Gauche, and to be used to compile extensions as well. sharing is caring 🫶
• --cppflags — compiler flag(s) passed to the C preprocessor.
• --static-libs — list of library link flags ('-llib') required to link Gauche statically. similar to -l, but this one also includes the libraries used for extension modules, and the static library itself too, that is -lgauche-static-X.X.
• --libgauche-so — the base name of the dynamically linked libgauche.
