.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fIwx\-config\fP is a tool to determine the compiler and linker
+flags required for applications using the \fIwxWidgets\fP toolkit(s).
.PP
-\fIwx-config\fP is a tool used to determine the compiler and
-linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs
-that use \fIwxGTK\fP.
-.
+\fIwx\-config\fP is normally a symlink to one of the port\-specific
+versions like \fIwxbase\-config\fP or \fIwxgtk\-config\fP which
+designates the default port to compile applications with.
+You can override this default either by using one of the specific
+versions directly, or by changing which version the symlink points to.
+On Debian systems this can be done using the
+.BR update\-alternatives (8)
+mechanism.

+\fIwx\-config\fP accepts the following options:
+.TP 15
.B \-\-version
-Report the currently installed version of \fIwxGTK\fP.
-.TP 8
-.B \-\-libs
-Output the linker flags necessary to link a \fIwxGTK\fP program.
-.TP 8
+What to
+.B ALWAYS
+include in a bug report.
+.TP 15
+.B \-\-libs[=LIBS]
+Generate linker flags for a \fIwxWidgets\fP application.
+The optional argument is a comma separated list of the wxWidgets libraries
+to link with. You may include contrib libs here too. If no argument is
+given it will assume you wish to link all 'core' libraries.
+.TP 15
+.B \-\-gl-libs
+Output linker parameters for a \fIwxWindows\fP application that uses the glcanvas.
+.TP 15
+.B \-\-cppflags
+Output parameters required by the C preprocessor for wxWindows applications.
+.TP 15
.B \-\-cflags
-Output the compiler flags necessary to compile a \fIwxGTK\fP program.
-.TP 8
+Output parameters required by the C compiler for wxWindows applications.
+.TP 15
+.B \-\-cxxflags
+Output parameters required by the C++ compiler for wxWindows applications.
+.TP 15
.B \-\-cc
Output the name of the C compiler \fB$(CC)\fP.
-.TP 8
+.TP 15
.B \-\-cxx
Output the name of the C++ compiler \fB$(CXX)\fP.
-.TP 8
+.TP 15
.B \-\-ld
-Output the Linker command \fB$(LD)\fP.
-.TP 8
+Output the linker command \fB$(LD)\fP.

-If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that \fIwxGTK\fP
+If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that \fIwxWidgets\fP
was built with when computing the output for the \-\-cflags and
\-\-libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix
if \-\-exec\-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified
before any \-\-libs or \-\-cflags options.
