<title>Compiling libaccounts-glib applications</title>
<para>
Building your application against libaccounts-glib is straightforward, and
this documentation give some hints for those new to the process.

<title>
Using <application>pkg-config</application> to query compiler and linker
flags
</title>
<para>
To compile your own application which uses libaccounts-glib, you must give
the compiler the location of the libaccounts-glib header files, and the
linker the name of the library to link with. The easiest way to do this is to
query those flags from the pkg-config file installed by libaccounts-glib. For
example, to query both the compiler and linker flags, run:
</para>
<informalexample>
<programlisting>pkg-config --cflags --libs libaccounts-glib</programlisting>
</informalexample>
<note>
<para>
In order for the pkg-config execution to succeed, you must have the
development files for libaccounts-glib installed on your system. In most
distributions, these are installed in a separate development package.
Installing such packages is outside the scope of this documentation.
</para>
</note>
<para>
The <filename>libaccounts-glib.pc</filename> file installed by
libaccounts-glib also contains several other useful variables, including the
install locations for <xref linkend="application-file-format"/>,
<xref linkend="provider-file-format"/>, <xref linkend="service-file-format"/>
and <xref linkend="service-type-file-format"/>. Check the installed file for
details, or query the list of variables with pkg-config:
</para>
<informalexample>
<programlisting>pkg-config --print-variables libaccounts-glib</programlisting>
</informalexample>
