1.TH sdl2-config 1 "2012-02-20" "SDL 2.0" 2.SH NAME 3sdl2-config \- script to get information about the installed version of SDL 4.SH SYNOPSIS 5.B sdl2-config 6[ --prefix= 7.IR DIR ] 8[ --exec-prefix= 9.IR DIR ] 10[ --version ] [ --libs | --library-libs | --plugin-libs ] [ --cflags ] 11.SH DESCRIPTION 12.B sdl2-config 13is a tool that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker 14flags that should be used to compile and link programs, libraries, and 15plugins that use SDL. It is also used internally by the m4 macros that are 16included with SDL. 17.SH OPTIONS 18.TP 19.B --cflags 20Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program or library 21that uses SDL. 22.TP 23.BI --exec-prefix= DIR 24If specified, use 25.I DIR 26instead of the installation exec prefix that SDL was build with when 27computing the output for the --cflags, --libs, --library-libs, and 28--plugin-libs options. This option must be specified before any of the 29--cflags, --libs, --library-libs, and --plugin-libs options. 30.TP 31.B --libs 32Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program that uses SDL. 33.TP 34.B --static-libs 35Print the linker flags that are necessary to statically link a program that uses SDL. 36.TP 37.B --library-libs 38Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a library that uses SDL. 39(This excludes any static objects required for linking, since these must be 40linked only by executable programs.) 41.TP 42.B --plugin-libs 43Print the linker flags that are necessary to link an SDL-using object that 44is to be accessed via 45.IR dlopen (3). 46This may include static objects with PIC symbol information. This option 47should 48.B not 49be used for ordinary shared libraries or standalone applications. 50.TP 51.BI --prefix= DIR 52If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that SDL was 53built with when computing the output for the --cflags, --libs, 54--library-libs, and --plugin-libs options. This option is also used for 55the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be 56specified before any of the --cflags, --libs, --library-libs, and 57--plugin-libs options. 58.TP 59.B --version 60Prints the currently installed version of SDL on standard output. 61.SH EXAMPLES 62.TP 63gcc -o main.o $(sdl2-config --cflags) main.c 64is how you might use 65.B sdl2-config 66to compile a C source file for an executable program. 67.TP 68gcc -o my_app $(sdl2-config --libs) main.o util.o 69is how you might use 70.B sdl2-config 71to link compiled objects into an executable program. 72.TP 73gcc -o libSDL_nifty-2.0.so.0.0.1 $(sdl --library-libs) read.o write.o munge.o 74is how you might use 75.B sdl2-config 76to link compiled objects into a shared library. 77.TP 78gcc -o libnifty_xmms.so $(sdl --plugin-libs) stream.o blit.o deinterlace.o 79is how you might use 80.B sdl2-config 81to link compiled objects into a plugin for use by another program. 82.SH AUTHOR 83The Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) library was written by Sam Lantinga. 84.PP 85This manual page was written by Branden Robinson, originally for Progeny 86Linux Systems, Inc., and the Debian Project.
