💖 GPG-ERROR-CONFIG(1) 💖

okay so this is the GnuPG manual page for gpg-error-config — manual name folded right up here in the title like a cute little name tag 🫶✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gpg-error-config — a script to get information about the installed version of libgpg-error.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gpg-error-config [options]

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so gpg-error-config is a tool that's used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use Libgpg-error. it's the little build-helper bestie that tells configure what flags to use 💅

🚨 obsolete alert: this tool is now obsolete. instead, please use pkg-config with gpg-error.pc for your new program, or use gpg-error.m4 which uses gpgrt-config and gpg-error.pc internally. no cap, that's the glow-up path ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

gpg-error-config accepts the following options, bestie:

  • --mt — provide output appropriate for multithreaded programs. --mt is only useful when combined with other options, and must be the first option if present. multithreaded main character energy 🧵👑
  • --version — print the currently installed version of Libgpg-error on the standard output. version check slay 💖
  • --libs — print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program using Libgpg-error. linker tea ☕
  • --cflags — print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using Libgpg-error. compiler vibes 🎀
  • --prefix=prefix — if specified, use prefix instead of the installation prefix that Libgpg-error 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. ⚠️ and it must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options — order matters, bestie, iykyk 🙈
  • --exec-prefix=prefix — if specified, use prefix instead of the installation exec prefix that Libgpg-error was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. this one must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options too. don't make it wait in line 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 this iconic little manual is from Libgpg-error 1.58, dated 2026-07-20 — periodt 💅✨
