I noticed this command:
gcc -Wall `libnet-config --defines` libnet-example-x.c -o libnet-example-x `libnet-config --libs`
What is the meaning of libnet-config --defines and libnet-config --libs?

A:
It is executing a program that generates the necessary gcc arguments to compile an application that uses libnet.
Execute this at the command line and you will see what is going on:
libnet-config --defines

@sharp, If you are having compilation problems I suggest you open another question. Getting something compile might have been your goal, but is outside the scope of the question you asked.

A:
libnet-config is an executable that will return a list of -D... options for gcc when called with the argument --defines and a list of -l... with the other argument.
