DESCRIPTION

The cups-config command allows application developers to determine the necessary command-line options for the compiler and linker, as well as the installation directories for filters, configuration files, and drivers. All values are reported to the standard output. Note: This command is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of CUPS. The *pkg-config*(1) command should be used instead.

OPTIONS

The cups-config command accepts the following command-line options:

–api-version
Reports the current API version (major.minor).
–build
Reports a system-specific build number.
–cflags
Reports the necessary compiler options.
–datadir
Reports the default CUPS data directory.
–help
Reports the program usage message.
–ldflags
Reports the necessary linker options.
–libs
Reports the necessary libraries to link to.
–serverbin
Reports the default CUPS binary directory, where filters and backends are stored.
–serverroot
Reports the default CUPS configuration file directory.
–static
When used with –libs, reports the static libraries instead of the default (shared) libraries.
–version
Reports the full version number of the CUPS installation (major.minor.patch).

EXAMPLES

Show the currently installed version of CUPS:


      cups-config --version

Compile a simple one-file CUPS filter:


      cc `cups-config --cflags --ldflags` -o filter filter.c \
          `cups-config --libs`

DEPRECATED OPTIONS

The following options are deprecated but continue to work for backwards compatibility:

–image
Formerly used to add the CUPS imaging library to the list of libraries.
