esd-config - helper script for building with the Enlightened Sound Daemon (esd) SYNOPSIS
esd-config [--version] [--prefix=dir] [--cflags] [--libs] [--exec-prefix=dir] DESCRIPTION
The esd-config tool enables you to specify which compiler and linker flags should be used to compile and link programs that use the esd library. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library. --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library. --exec-prefix=diIf specified, use dir instead of the installation exec prefix that the library was built with, when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. --prefix=dir If specified, use dir instead of the installation prefix that the library was built with, when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. This option is also used for the exec prefix, if the --exec-prefix option is not specified. --version Print the currently installed version of the library on the standard output. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Getting the Enlightened Sound Daemon version example% esd-config --version Example 2: Determining the libraries required to link with the Enlightened Sound Daemon example% esd-config --libs EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Application exited successfully >0 Application exited with failure FILES
The following files are used by this application: /usr/bin/esd-config Executable for Enlightened Sound Daemon helper script ATTRIBUTES
