📦 version 0.6.5, in fedora 43, fedora 44

💖 clanlib-config — the ClanLib dev bestie script 💖

okay so this is clanlib-config(1) from the ClanLib Game SDK section of the manual, and honestly? it's a tiny little helper but it's carrying the whole build setup on its back. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

clanlib-config — clanlib development helper script

like literally the name says it: it's the lil script that helps you out when you're developing with clanlib. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

clanlib-config [ --cflags ] [ --libs ] [ --version ]

that's it bestie, three flags, zero drama, maximum slay. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so clanlib-config is a script that helps you build applications using the ClanLib Game SDK. it's giving personal assistant energy fr fr.

the way it works: you can use it to automatically set your build flags for you. like, it'll tell you stuff such as:

  • the directory where the ClanLib headers are located 📁
  • the exact name of the ClanLib library that your application should link with 🔗

so instead of you sitting there hand-typing paths and guessing library names like some kind of medieval peasant, you just ask the script and it tells you. iconic behaviour honestly. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --cflags — the build flags you need, aka the compiler side of things 🛠️
  • --libs — the linker side, so your app knows exactly which ClanLib library to link against 🔥
  • --version — tells you the version, because knowing what you're working with is main character energy 💜
note bestie: those are the three flags the synopsis shows you, and you can pass them together in one call. don't go inventing new ones, i'm watching. 🙈
