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.
