DESCRIPTION
       gimptool-2.0 is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins  or
       scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file.

       gimptool-2.0  can  also	be  used  by  programs	that need to know what
       libraries and include-paths GIMP was compiled with. This is  especially
       useful in Makefiles.



OPTIONS
       gimptool-2.0 accepts the following options:

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

       --help  Print out the help blurb,  showing  commonly  used  commandline
	       options.

       --quiet Run quietly without echoing any of the build commands.

       --silent

       --dry-run
	       Test mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute	 them.
	       Same as -n.

       --recon Test  mode. Print the commands but don't actually execute them.
	       Same as -n.

	       before any --libs or --cflags options.



ENVIRONMENT
       CC      to get the name of the desired C compiler.

       CFLAGS  to get the preferred flags to pass to the C compiler for	 plug-
	       in building.

       DESTDIR to add a prefix to the install/uninstall path.

       LDFLAGS to get the preferred flags for passing to the linker.

       LIBS    for passing extra libs that may be needed in the build process.
	       For example, LIBS=-lintl .

       PKG_CONFIG
