gnustep-config(1)            GNUstep System Manual           gnustep-config(1)

NAME
       gnustep-config - prints information about the current gnustep
       installation.

SYNOPSIS
       gnustep-config [ --variable=variable
       |--objc-flags|--objc-libs|--base-libs|--gui-libs ]

DESCRIPTION
       gnustep-config can print information about the currently installed
       GNUstep system. Output is generated dynamically based on environment
       variables such as GNUSTEP_CONFIG_FILE and GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES, though
       default values for these are generated when the tool is
       configured/installed.  Output is primarily the locations in which
       various GNUstep resources are installed, but also provide flags used to
       build different types of GNUstep project.
