MAGICKCORE-CONFIG(1)

✨ MAGICKCORE-CONFIG(1) ✨ — General Commands Manual 💖

Okay bestie, this is the manual page for MagickCore-config, a tiny helper tool that tells you everything about your installed ImageMagick 🎀

🌸 NAME

MagickCore-config — get information about the installed version of ImageMagick 🦋

💜 SYNOPSIS

MagickCore-config [--cflags] [--cppflags] [--exec-prefix] [--ldflags]
                  [--libs] [--prefix] [--version]

🧚 DESCRIPTION

Okay so the MagickCore-config utility is literally the one that spits out the compiler and linker flags you need to compile and link programs that use the ImageMagick Core Application Programmer Interface. No cap, it's the main character for building ImageMagick stuff 💅

The following options are available, obsessed with how organized these are ✨

• --cppflags, --cflags, --cxxflags — Prints the compiler flags needed to find the ImageMagick(1) C include files and defines. This makes sure the ImageMagick data structures match between your program and the installed libraries, so nothing gets weird 🫶
• --prefix, --exec-prefix — Prints the directory where target specific binaries and executables are installed 🍓
• --ldflags, --libs — Prints the linker flags needed to link with the ImageMagick(1) library 🔥
• --version — Prints the version of the ImageMagick(1) distribution to standard output. Iconic 👑
• --coder-path — Prints the path where the ImageMagick(1) coder modules are installed 🌈
• --filter-path — Prints the path where the ImageMagick(1) filter modules are installed ⭐

🎀 EXAMPLES

To print the version of the installed distribution of ImageMagick, use:

MagickCore-config --version

To compile a program that calls the ImageMagick(1) Application Programmer Interface, use:

cc `MagickCore-config --cppflags --ldflags` program.c
