5 geos-config - script to get information about the installed version of GEOS
8 [\-\-prefix\fI[=DIR]\fP] [\-\-version] [\-\-libs] [\-\-cflags] [\-\-includes] [\-\-jtsport]
12 \fIgeos-config\fP is a tool that is used to configure to determine
13 the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile
14 and link programs that use \fIGEOS\fP. It is also used internally
15 to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with \fIGEOS\fP.
17 \fIGEOS (Geometry Engine - Open Source)\fP is a C++ port of the
18 \fIJava Topology Suite (JTS)\fP. As such, it aims to contain the
19 complete functionality of JTS in C++. This includes all the
20 \fIOpenGIS "Simple Features for SQL"\fP spatial predicate functions
21 and spatial operators, as well as specific JTS topology
22 functions such as IsValid().
25 These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
26 options starting with two dashes (`-').
28 \fIgeos-config\fP accepts the following options:
31 Print the currently installed version of \fIGEOS\fP on the standard output.
34 Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a \fIGEOS\fP program.
37 Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a \fIGEOS\fP program.
40 If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that \fIGEOS\fP
41 was built with when computing the output for the \-\-cflags and
42 \-\-libs options. This option must be specified before any
43 \-\-libs or \-\-cflags options.
46 Print the version of Java Topology Suite library, which is implemented
47 by the current \fIGEOS\fP library.

52 The installed \fIGEOS\fP library is fully documented in the GEOS documentation
54 .IR /usr/share/doc/libgeos-doc/html/index.html
55 and the pages at the same location, viewable with a web browser.
