kde-config is a small utility for determining how KDE is installed. It can be used for debugging purposes, or in Makefiles for simple projects that don't want to use the full autoconf/automake framework.
kde-config --help gives:
KDE TechBase Options:
--expandvars expand ${prefix} and ${exec_prefix} in output
--prefix Compiled in prefix for KDE libraries
--exec-prefix Compiled in exec_prefix for KDE libraries
--libsuffix Compiled in library path suffix
--localprefix Prefix in $HOME used to write files
--version Compiled in version string for KDE libraries
--types Available KDE resource types
--path type Search path for resource type
--userpath type User path: desktop|autostart|trash|document
--install type Prefix to install resource files to
kde-config --types gives:
apps - Applications menu (.desktop files) config - Configuration files data - Where applications store data emoticons - unknown type exe - Executables in $prefix/bin html - HTML documentation icon - Icons kcfg - Configuration description files lib - Libraries locale - Translation files for KLocale mime - Mime types module - Loadable modules pixmap - unknown type qtplugins - Qt plugins services - Services servicetypes - Service types sound - Application sounds templates - Templates wallpaper - Wallpapers xdgconf-menu - XDG Menu layout (.menu files) xdgdata-apps - XDG Application menu (.desktop files) xdgdata-dirs - XDG Menu descriptions (.directory files) xdgdata-icon - unknown type
These are valid inputs of --path and --install. --install gives the paths kdelibs was compiled for, while --path gives the whole set of paths as they are searched in the current environment.
So while --path config can return
/home/joe/.kde/share/config:/etc/kde3:/opt/kde3/share/config
--install config will return
${prefix}/share/config
you can ask for --prefix too, and --expandvars expands this right for you and gives:
/home/joe/KDE/share/config
