AFTERIMAGE-CONFIG(1)

Okay bestie, gather round 🎀 this is the AFTERIMAGE-CONFIG(1) page from the General Commands Manual, and it is about to be SO helpful 💖

✨ NAME ✨

afterimage-config is a little script that gets you all the deets on the version of libAfterImage installed on your machine 🍓

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

afterimage-config [--prefix[=PREFIX]] [--exec-prefix[=PREFIX]]
[--version] [--libs [--external-only]] [--libtool] [--cflags]
[--have-afterbase] [--preferred-image-format] [--have-x-support]
[LIBRARIES]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so afterimage-config is the tool you use to figure out the compiler and linker flags you need when you're compiling and linking programs that use the libAfterImage library. It's literally your flag-finding bestie 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

afterimage-config takes the following options, and yes, we're going through every single one 🫶

• --version — Prints the currently installed version of libAfterImage to the standard output 🌈
• --libs — Prints the linker flags you need to link a program that uses libAfterImage ⭐
• --libs --external-only — Prints only the linker flags for external libraries (i.e. not the ones coming from the afterstep package) that you need to link a program using libAfterImage 🧚
• --libtool — Prints the name of the file that holds the libtool(1) definitions 💜
• --have-afterbase — Prints yes if libAfterBase is available 🌸
• --preferred-image-format — Prints the image format that was set as preferred when libAfterImage got compiled 🎀
• --have-x-support — Prints yes if X support is available 🦋
• --cflags — Prints the compiler flags you need to compile a libAfterImage program 💖
• --prefix — Prints the prefix that libAfterImage was compiled with 🍓
• --prefix=PREFIX — If you specify this, afterimage-config uses PREFIX instead of the installation prefix libAfterImage was built with when it computes the output for --cflags and --libs. It's also used for the exec prefix if you didn't specify --exec-prefix. This one has to come before any --libs or --cflags options 🔥
• --exec-prefix — Prints the exec-prefix that libAfterImage was compiled with 🌈
• --exec-prefix=PREFIX — If you specify this, afterimage-config uses PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix libAfterImage was built with when it computes the output for --cflags and --libs. This one also has to come before any --libs or --cflags options 🫶

🚨 bestie, the ordering rule is serious: both --prefix=PREFIX and --exec-prefix=PREFIX must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options, or they won't do their thing ✨

That one is itself an almost word-for-word copy of the gtk-config manpage, written by Owen Taylor. The cppunit-config man page was then modified by E. Sommerlade eric@sommerla.de 💅
