NAME

       libIDL-config-2 - helper script for building with libIDL-2

SYNOPSIS

       libIDL-config-2   [   --libs   ]  [  --cflags  ]  [  --prefix=dir  ]  [
              --exec-prefix=dir ]

       libIDL-config-2 [ --version ] [ --help ]

DESCRIPTION

       libIDL-config-2 is a tool that is used to determine  the  compiler  and
       linker  flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
       the libIDL-2 library.  This script seems to be semi-obsolete,  and  may
       not work correctly on non-Debian systems; you should probably use "pkg-
       config libIDL-2.0" instead.

       In most cases, you will use one (or both) of the  options  --cflags  or
       --libs (depending on whether you are compiling or linking.

OPTIONS

       libIDL-config-2 accepts the following options:

       --version
              Print the currently installed version of library on the standard
              output.

       --help Print a usage summary.

       --libs Print the linker flags that  are  necessary  to  link  with  the
              specified library.

       --cflags
              Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program
              using the specified library.

       --prefix=PREFIX
              If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that
              library  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. This option must
              be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix=PREFIX
              If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix
              that  library  was  built with when computing the output for the
              --cflags and --libs options.   This  option  must  be  specified
              before any --libs or --cflags options.
