3.2 make

If you use make with your own ‘Makefile’ files, then you are on your own. This manual offers no assistance with doing this. Only the following suggestion is offered:

GIMPPRINT_VERSION = $(shell gimpprint-config --version)
GIMPPRINT_CFLAGS = $(shell gimpprint-config --cflags)
GIMPPRINT_LIBS = $(shell gimpprint-config --libs)

How you choose to use these variables is entirely up to you. See GNU make: (make)Top, for more information.
