28 gimptool-2.0 is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins or
29 scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file.
30 gimptool-2.0 can also be used by programs that need to know what
32 libraries and include-paths GIMP was compiled with. gimptool-2.0 uses
33 pkg-config for this task. For use in Makefiles, it is recommended that
34 you use pkg-config directly instead of calling gimptool-2.0.
35
39 gimptool-2.0 accepts the following options:
40 --version
42 Print the currently installed version of GIMP on the standard
43 output.
44 --help Print out the help blurb, showing commonly used commandline
46 options.
47 --quiet Run quietly without echoing any of the build commands.
49 --silent
51 Run silently without echoing any of the build commands. Same as
52 --quiet.
53 -n Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them.
55 Useful for making dry runs for testing.
56 --just-print
58 Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them.
59 Same as -n.
60 --dry-run
62 Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them.
63 Same as -n.
64 --recon Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them.
66 Same as -n.
67 --msvc-syntax
69 Useful on Windows. Outputs the compiler and linker flags in the
70 syntax used by Microsoft's toolchain. Passed to the pkg-config
71 command that does most of gimptool-2.0's work.

199
203 CC to get the name of the desired C compiler.
