NAME¶
sdl2-config - script to get information about the installed version of SDL
SYNOPSIS¶
sdl2-config [--prefix=[
DIR]] [--exec-prefix=[
DIR]]
[--version] [--cflags] [--libs] [--static-libs]
DESCRIPTION¶
sdl2-config is a tool that is used to configure and determine the
compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs,
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 installation.
- 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
output.
EXAMPLES¶
- gcc -o main.o $(sdl2-config --cflags) main.c
- is how you might use sdl2-config to compile a C
source file for an executable program.
- gcc -o my_app $(sdl2-config --libs) main.o util.o
- is how you might use sdl2-config to link compiled
objects into an executable program.
