|---|
| 6 | [ --prefix= |
|---|
| 7 | .IR DIR ] |

| 11 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 12 | .B caca-config |
|---|
| 13 | is a tool that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker |
|---|
| 14 | flags that should be used to compile and link progams, libraries, and |
|---|
| 15 | plugins that use libcaca. |
|---|
| 16 | |
|---|
| 17 | The use of |
|---|
| 18 | .B caca-config |
|---|
| 19 | is deprecated. The more generic tool |
|---|
| 20 | .B pkg-config |
|---|
| 21 | should be used instead. |
|---|
| 22 | .SH OPTIONS |
|---|
| 23 | .TP |
|---|
| 24 | .B --cflags |
|---|
| 25 | Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program or library |
|---|
| 26 | that uses libcaca. |
|---|
| 27 | .TP |
|---|
| 28 | .BI --exec-prefix= DIR |
|---|
| 29 | If specified, use |
|---|
| 30 | .I DIR |
|---|
| 31 | instead of the installation exec prefix that libcaca was build with when |
|---|
| 32 | computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. |
|---|
| 33 | This option must be specified before any of the --cflags and --libs options. |
|---|
| 34 | .TP |
|---|
| 35 | .B --libs |
|---|
| 36 | Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program or library |
|---|
| 37 | that uses libcaca. |
|---|
| 38 | .TP |
|---|
| 39 | .BI --prefix= DIR |
|---|
| 40 | If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that libcaca |
|---|
| 41 | was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs |
|---|
| 42 | options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix |
|---|
| 43 | was not specified. This option must be specified before any of the --cflags |
|---|
| 44 | and --libs options. |
|---|
| 45 | .TP |
|---|
| 46 | .B --version |
|---|
| 47 | Prints the currently installed version of libcaca on standard output. |
|---|
| 48 | .SH EXAMPLES |
|---|
| 49 | .TP |
|---|
| 50 | gcc -o main.o $(caca-config --cflags) -c main.c |
|---|
| 51 | is how you might use |
|---|
| 52 | .B caca-config |
|---|
| 53 | to compile a C source file for an executable program. |
|---|
| 54 | .TP |
|---|
| 55 | gcc -o my_app $(caca-config --libs) main.o util.o |
|---|
| 56 | is how you might use |
|---|
| 57 | .B caca-config |
|---|
| 58 | to link compiled objects into an executable program. |
