LIBIDL-CONFIG-2(1) General Commands Manual LIBIDL-CONFIG-2(1)
NAME
libIDL-config-2 - helper script for building with libIDL-2
SYNOPSIS
libIDL-config-2 [ --libs ] [ --cflags ] [ --prefix=dir ] [ --exec-prefix=dir ]
libIDL-config-2 [ --version ] [ --help ]
DESCRIPTION
libIDL-config-2 is a tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use
the libIDL-2 library. This script seems to be semi-obsolete, and may not work correctly on non-Debian systems; you should probably use
"pkg-config libIDL-2.0" instead.
In most cases, you will use one (or both) of the options --cflags or --libs (depending on whether you are compiling or linking.
OPTIONS
libIDL-config-2 accepts the following options:
--version
Print the currently installed version of library on the standard output.
--help Print a usage summary.
--libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link with the specified library.
--cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program using the specified library.
--prefix=PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that library 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 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.
