25\section yat-config
26
27The \c yat-config script provides information on the local version of
28the library. For instance the following command shows that yat was
29installed at prefix \c `/usr/local'
30
31\verbatim
32 #> yat-config --prefix
33/usr/local
34\endverbatim
35
36This information can then be used in a Makefile, for example, as follows:
37
38\verbatim
39BIN=foo
40SRC=$(BIN).cc
41OBJECTS=$(SRC:.cc=.o)
42
43CPPFLAGS+=`yat-config --cppflags`
44CXXFLAGS+=`yat-config --cxxflags`
45LDFLAGS+=`yat-config --ldflags`
46LIBS+=`yat-config --libs`
47
48all: $(BIN)
49
50$(BIN): $(OBJECTS)
51  $(CXX) $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJECTS) -o $(BIN) $(LIBS)
52
53.cc.o:
54  $(CXX) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) -c $< -o $@
55
56clean:; $(RM) $(OBJECTS) $(BIN)
57\endverbatim
58
59From yat 0.6 an alternative \c CBLAS library can be specified using \c
60YAT_CBLAS_LIB environment variable. By default the \c CBLAS library
61detected during configuration of yat is used.

63For further information on yat-config use \c `yat-config \c --help'

67\section macro Autoconf Macro
68
69For applications using autoconf there is a macro available in \c
70yat.m4. The macro can be called from your \c configure.ac:
71
72\verbatim
73   YAT_CHECK_YAT([minimum-version], [action-if-found], [action-if-not-found])
74\endverbatim
75
76The argument minimum-version should be the number (\c MAJOR.MINOR or
77\c MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) of the version you require. If yat header files
78and library are not found or the version is not new enough, macro will
79complain and execute shell command \c action-if-not-found. A suitable
80\c action-if-not-found could be
81
82\verbatim
83   AC_MSG_FAILURE([could not find required version of yat])
84\endverbatim
85
86If the test is successful, \c HAVE_YAT is defined and \c
87action-if-found is executed. The test calls \c yat-config and sets
88variables \c YAT_CPPFLAGS, \c YAT_CXXFLAGS, \c YAT_LDFLAGS, \c
89YAT_LIBS, and \c YAT_LA_FILE. These flags can then be used in the \c
90Makefile.am. For instance:
91
92\verbatim
93   AM_CPPFLAGS = $(YAT_CPPFLAGS)
94   AM_CXXFLAGS = $(YAT_CXXFLAGS)
95   AM_LDFLAGS = $(YAT_LDFLAGS)
96   LDADD = $(YAT_LIBS)
97\endverbatim
98
99\note this macro assumes that \c yat-config has been installed; \c
100      yat-config was introduced in yat \b 0.5 and consequently this macro
101      \b does \b not work with yat \b 0.4.x (or older).
