✨ AALIB(1) — aalib-config 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for aalib-config, the little helper tool that tells you what aalib version you have installed 🧚. It's the one that figures out which compiler and linker flags you need to build and link programs that use aalib 💅. It also gets called behind the scenes by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that ship with aalib 🫶.

✨ NAME ✨

aalib-config — script to get information about the installed version of aalib 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

aalib-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs]
[--static-libs] [--cflags]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so aalib-config is giving main character energy 👑. It's used to configure and figure out the compiler and linker flags you should use when you compile and link programs that use aalib 🔥. It's also used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with aalib, so it's lowkey doing a lot 🙈.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

aalib-config accepts the following options, no cap 💜:

• --version — prints the currently installed version of aalib to standard output 🦋.
• --libs — prints the linker flags you need to link an aalib program 🔗.
• --static-libs — prints the linker flags you need to link an aalib program statically 🧊.
• --cflags — prints the compiler flags you need to compile an aalib program 🎀.
• --prefix=PREFIX — if you specify this, aalib-config uses PREFIX instead of the installation prefix aalib was built with when it computes the output for --cflags and --libs ✨. This also becomes the exec prefix if you didn't set --exec-prefix. Important: this option has to come before any --libs or --cflags options, bestie 🚨.
• --exec-prefix=PREFIX — if you specify this, aalib-config uses PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix aalib was built with when it computes the output for --cflags and --libs 🌈. Also this has to come before any --libs or --cflags options 💀.
