libmikmod-config

LIBMIKMOD(1)						      General Commands Manual						      LIBMIKMOD(1)

NAME

       libmikmod-config - script to get information about the installed version of libmikmod.

SYNOPSIS

       libmikmod-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags] [--ldadd]

DESCRIPTION

       libmikmod-config  is  a	tool  that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link
       programs that use libmikmod. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with libmikmod.

OPTIONS

       libmikmod-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of libmikmod on the standard output.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a libmikmod program.

       --ldadd Print the extra linker flags that are necessary to link a libmikmod program if it was compiled with the GNU C compiler.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a libmikmod program.

       --prefix=PREFIX
	       If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that libmikmod 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 --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix=PREFIX
	       If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that libmikmod was built with when computing the  output  for  the
	       --cflags and --libs options.  This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
