NAME
sdl-config - script to get information about the installed version of
SDL
SYNOPSIS
sdl-config [ --prefix= DIR] [ --exec-prefix= DIR] [ --version ] [
--libs | --library-libs | --plugin-libs ] [ --cflags ]
DESCRIPTION
sdl-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 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 specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix
that SDL was build with when computing the output for the
--cflags, --libs, --library-libs, and --plugin-libs options.
This option must be specified before any of the --cflags,
--libs, --library-libs, and --plugin-libs options.
--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.
--library-libs
Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a library that
uses SDL. (This excludes any static objects required for
linking, since these must be linked only by executable
programs.)
--plugin-libs
Print the linker flags that are necessary to link an SDL-using
object that is to be accessed via dlopen(3). This may include
static objects with PIC symbol information. This option should
not be used for ordinary shared libraries or standalone
applications.
--prefix=DIR
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that
SDL was built with when computing the output for the --cflags,
--libs, --library-libs, and --plugin-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, --libs, --library-libs, and --plugin-libs options.
--version
Prints the currently installed version of SDL on standard
output.
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.
gcc -o libSDL_nifty-1.2.so.0.0.1 $(sdl --library-libs) read.o write.o
munge.o
is how you might use sdl-config to link compiled objects into a
shared library.
gcc -o libnifty_xmms.so $(sdl --plugin-libs) stream.o blit.o
deinterlace.o
is how you might use sdl-config to link compiled objects into a
plugin for use by another program.
