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
       compiler 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
              before 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.
