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.
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).
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`
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.
