sdl-config(1) General Commands Manual sdl-config(1)
NAME
sdl-config - script to get information about the installed version of
SDL
SYNOPSIS
sdl-config [--prefix=[DIR]] [--exec-prefix=[DIR]] [--version]
[--cflags] [--libs] [--static-libs]
DESCRIPTION
sdl-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 pro-
grams, libraries, and plugins that use SDL. It is also used internally
by the m4 macros that are included with SDL.
OPTIONS
--cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program
or library that uses SDL.
--exec-prefix[=DIR]
If DIR is not specified, print the exec prefix of the current
SDL installation.
If DIR is specified, use it instead of the installation exec
prefix that SDL was built with when computing the output for the
--cflags, --libs and --static-libs options. This option must be
specified before any of the options --cflags, --libs and
--static-libs.
--libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program that
uses SDL.
--static-libs
Print the linker flags that are necessary to statically link a
program that uses SDL.
--prefix[=DIR]
If DIR is not specified, print the prefix of the current SDL in-
stallation.
If DIR is specified, use it instead of the installation prefix
that SDL was built with when computing the output for the
--cflags, --libs and --static-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 options
--cflags, --libs and --static-libs.
--version
Prints the currently installed version of SDL on standard out-
put.
EXAMPLES
gcc -o main.o $(sdl-config --cflags) main.c
is how you might use sdl-config to compile a C source file for
an executable program.
gcc -o my_app $(sdl-config --libs) main.o util.o
is how you might use sdl-config to link compiled objects into an
executable program.
