Gwyddion Module Installation

Gwyddion Module Installation — Compilation, distribution and installation of Gwyddion modules

Overview

To be written. Meanwhile you can look at the threshold-example module how it copes with this issues.

Some highlights: On Unix systems, Gwyddion installs a pkg-config file with meta-information about the particular installation, so you can use pkg-config to find compiler and linker options and module installation directories. See pkg-config documentation for description of the standard options. The directory to install modules to can be obtained from pkg-config --variable gwymoduledir gwyddion.

On Win32 systems, Gwyddion installs a registry entry HKLM\Software\Gwyddion Development\1.0\Path containing the base directory, where development libraries and header files were installed.
