Description
regina-engine-config tells you which compiler and linker flags should be used to build the mathematical
engine of Regina into your own programs. Regina's mathematical engine is in the library libregina-engine.so.
Regina is a software package for 3-manifold and 4-manifold topologists, with a focus on triangulations,
knots and links, normal surfaces, and angle structures.
For 3-manifolds, it includes high-level tasks such as 3-sphere recognition, connected sum decomposition
and Hakenness testing, comes with a rich database of census manifolds, and incorporates the SnapPea
kernel for working with hyperbolic manifolds. For 4-manifolds, it offers a range of combinatorial and
algebraic tools, plus support for normal hypersurfaces. For knots and links, Regina can perform
combinatorial manipulation, compute knot polynomials, and work with several import/export formats.

Options
regina-engine-config accepts the following options.
--prefix=DIR
Use DIR instead of the installation prefix that Regina 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
is not specified. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. If no DIR
is specified then the current installation prefix will be written to standard output.
Most people will not need this option.
--exec-prefix=DIR
Use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that Regina was built with when computing the
output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or
--cflags options. If no DIR is specified then the current installation exec prefix will be
written to standard output.
Most people will not need this option.
--version
Print the currently installed version of Regina.
--libs Print the linker flags that are required to link a program against the Regina calculation engine.
--cflags
Print the compiler flags that are required to compile a program that uses the Regina calculation
engine.
