caca-config(1) General Commands Manual caca-config(1)
NAME
caca-config - script to get information about the installed version of
libcaca
SYNOPSIS
caca-config [ --prefix= DIR] [ --exec-prefix= DIR] [ --version ] [
--libs ] [ --cflags ]
DESCRIPTION
caca-config is a tool that is used to configure and determine the com-
piler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link progams,
libraries, and plugins that use libcaca.
The use of caca-config is deprecated. The more generic tool pkg-config
should be used instead.
OPTIONS
--cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program
or library that uses libcaca.
--exec-prefix=DIR
If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix
that libcaca was build with when computing the output for the
--cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified be-
fore any of the --cflags and --libs options.
--libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program or
library that uses libcaca.
--prefix=DIR
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that
libcaca 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 was not specified. This option
must be specified before any of the --cflags and --libs options.
--version
Prints the currently installed version of libcaca on standard
output.
EXAMPLES
gcc -o main.o $(caca-config --cflags) -c main.c
is how you might use caca-config to compile a C source file for
an executable program.
gcc -o my_app $(caca-config --libs) main.o util.o
is how you might use caca-config to link compiled objects into
an executable program.
