+@chapter Preparation
+
+To use Libgpg-error, you have to perform some changes to your
+sources and the build system.  The necessary changes are small and
+explained in the following sections.  At the end of this chapter, it
+is described how the library is initialized, and how the requirements
+of the library are verified.
+
+@menu
+* Header::                      What header file you need to include.
+* Building sources::            How to build sources using the library.
+* Building sources using Automake::  How to build sources with the help of Automake.
+* Initializing the library::    How to initialize the library.
+* Multi-Threading::             How Libgpg-error can be used in a MT environment.
+@end menu
+
+
+@node Header
+@section Header
+
+All interfaces (data types and functions) of the library are defined
+in the header file @file{libgpg-error.h}.  You must include this in all source
+files using the library, either directly or through some other header
+file, like this:
+
+@example
+#include <libgpg-error.h>
+@end example
+
+Note well that the header file is platform specific and may only be
+used on the platform for which it has been build.
+
+The name space of Libgpg-error is @code{gpg_*} and @code{gpgrt*}
+for function and type names and @code{GPG_*} and @code{GPGRT_*}
+for other symbols.  In addition the same name prefixes with one
+prepended underscore are reserved for internal use and should never be
+used by an application.
+
+@noindent
+Certain parts of gpg-error.h may be included by defining these macros:
+
+@table @code
+@item GPG_ERR_ENABLE_GETTEXT_MACROS
+Define to provide macros to map the internal gettext API to standard
+names.  This has only an effect on Windows platforms.
+
+@item GPGRT_ENABLE_ES_MACROS
+Define to provide "es_" macros for the estream functions.
+@end table
+
+@node Building sources
+@section Building sources
+
+If you want to compile a source file including the `gpg-error.h' header
+file, you must make sure that the compiler can find it in the
+directory hierarchy.  This is accomplished by adding the path to the
+directory in which the header file is located to the compilers include
+file search path (via the @option{-I} option).
+
+However, the path to the include file is determined at the time the
+source is configured.  To solve this problem, Libgpg-error ships with
+the small helper program @command{gpgrt-config}
+which know the path to the include file
+and other configuration options.  The options that need to be added to
+the compiler invocation at compile time are output by the
+@option{--cflags} option to @command{gpgrt-config}
+The following example shows how it can be
+used at the command line:
+
+@example
+gcc -c foo.c $(gpgrt-config --cflags)
+@end example
+
+Adding the output of @samp{gpgrt-config --cflags} to the
+compiler’s command line will ensure that the compiler can find the
+Libgpg-error header file.
+
+A similar problem occurs when linking the program with the library.
+Again, the compiler has to find the library files.  For this to work,
+the path to the library files has to be added to the library search
+path (via the @option{-L} option).  For this, the option
+@option{--libs} to @command{gpgrt-config} can be used.  The
+example shows how to link @file{foo.o} with the Libgpg-error library
+to a program @command{foo}.
+
+@example
+gcc -o foo foo.o $(gpgrt-config --libs)
+@end example
+
+Of course you can also combine both examples to a single command by
+specifying both options to @command{gpgrt-config}:
+
+@example
+gcc -o foo foo.c $(gpgrt-config --cflags --libs)
+@end example
+
+@node Building sources using Automake
+@section Building sources using Automake
+
+It is much easier if you use GNU Automake instead of writing your own
+Makefiles.  If you do that, you do not have to worry about finding and
+invoking the @command{gpgrt-config} script at all.  Libgpg-error
+provides an extension to Automake that does all the work for you.
+
+@c A simple macro for optional variables.
+@macro ovar{varname}
+@r{[}@var{\varname\}@r{]}
+@end macro
+@defmac AM_PATH_GPG_ERROR (@ovar{minimum-version}, @ovar{action-if-found}, @ovar{action-if-not-found})
+Check whether Libgpg-error (at least version @var{minimum-version}, if
+given) exists on the host system.  If it is found, execute
+@var{action-if-found}, otherwise do @var{action-if-not-found}, if
+given.
+
+Additionally, the function defines @code{GPG_ERROR_CFLAGS} to the
+flags needed for compilation of the program to find the
+@file{gpg-error.h} header file, and @code{GPG_ERROR_LIBS} to the
+linker flags needed to link the program to the Libgpg-error library.  If
+the used helper script does not match the target type you are building
+for a warning is printed and the string @code{libgpg-error} is
+appended to the variable @code{gpg_config_script_warn}.
+
+This macro searches for @command{gpgrt-config} along the PATH.  If
+you are cross-compiling, it is useful to set the environment variable
+@code{SYSROOT} to the top directory of your target.  The macro will
+then first look for the helper program in the @file{bin} directory
+below that top directory.  An absolute directory name must be used for
+@code{SYSROOT}.  Finally, if the configure command line option
+@code{--with-libgpg-error-prefix} is used, only its value is used for
+the top directory below which the helper script is expected.
+
+@end defmac
+
+You can use the defined Autoconf variables like this in your
+@file{Makefile.am}:
+
+@example
+AM_CPPFLAGS = $(GPG_ERROR_CFLAGS)
+LDADD = $(GPG_ERROR_LIBS)
+@end example
+
+@node Initializing the library
+@section Initializing the library
+
+Before the library can be used, it should initialize itself.  This is
+achieved by invoking the function @code{gpgrt_check_version} described
+below.
+
+Also, it is often desirable to check that the version of
+Libgpg-error used is indeed one which fits all requirements.
+Even with binary compatibility, new features may have been introduced,
+but due to problem with the dynamic linker an old version may actually
+be used.  So you may want to check that the version is okay right
+after program startup.
+
+@deftypefun {const char *} gpgrt_check_version (const char *@var{req_version})
+
+The function @code{gpgrt_check_version} initializes some subsystems used
+by Libgpg-error and must be invoked before any other function in the
+library.
+@xref{Multi-Threading}.
+
+Furthermore, this function returns the version number of the library.
+It can also verify that the version number is higher than a certain
+required version number @var{req_version}, if this value is not a null
+pointer.

+@command{gpgrt-config} is a tool that is used to configure to

+@command{gpgrt-config} accepts the following options:
+
+@table @gnupgtabopt
+
+@item  --mt
+Provide output appropriate for multithreaded programs.  @option{--mt}
+is only useful when combined with other options, and must be the first
+option if present.
+
+@item --version
+Print the currently installed version of Libgpg-error on the
+standard output.
+
+@item --libs
+Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program using
+Libgpg-error.
+
+@item --cflags
+Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using
+Libgpg-error.
+
+@item --prefix=@var{prefix}
+If specified, use @var{prefix} instead of the installation prefix that
+Libgpg-error was built with when computing the output for the
+@option{--cflags} and @option{--libs} options.  This option is also
+used for the exec prefix if @option{--exec-prefix} was not specified.
+This option must be specified before any @option{--libs} or
+@code{--cflags} options.
+
+@item --exec-prefix=@var{prefix}
+If specified, use @var{prefix} instead of the installation exec prefix
+that Libgpg-error was built with when computing the output for the
+@option{--cflags} and @option{--libs} options.  This option must be
+specified before any @option{--libs} or @option{--cflags} options.
