BUILDPROGRAM(1) User Commands BUILDPROGRAM(1)

BuildProgram - compile, link with Gnuastro library and its dependencies, and run a C program

astbuildprog [OPTION...] C-source [ARGUMENTS TO RUN]

BuildProgram is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.23. BuildProgram will compile and run a C program, while automatically linking with libraries that Gnuastro depends on. Hence you do not have to worry about explicitly linking with CFITSIO for example if you want to work on a FITS file, or with GSL if you want to use GNU Scientific Library's functions. The standard compiler options of '-I', '-L', and '-l' are also available for further customization of the build.

For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the second contains a very comprehensive explanation of BuildProgram's invocation: expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the options.

$ astbuildprog -P
$ info astbuildprog
$ info BuildProgram
$ info gnuastro

If you couldn't find your answer in the manual, you can get direct help from experienced Gnuastro users and developers. For more information, please run:

$ info help-gnuastro
