🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so real talk 🌸 fltk-config is a utility script, and it does three whole things for you:

1. it tells you stuff about the current version of FLTK installed on the system
2. it tells you which compiler and linker options you need when you're building FLTK-based applications
3. it can straight up build simple FLTK applications for you

she's a multitasker. main character energy fr fr 👑

The following options are supported:

🌸 the options, one by one, no skips 💅

• --api-version — shows you the current FLTK API version number, like "1.1".
• --cc, --cxx — shows you the C / C++ compiler that was used to compile FLTK. same energy, two flavours 🫶
• --cflags, --cxxflags — shows you the C / C++ compiler options to use when you're compiling source files that use FLTK. pls use these, don't guess.
• --compile program.cxx — compiles the source file program.cxx into program. also, heads up: this option implies --post program. she does a little extra, no cap.
• -g — enables debugging information when you're compiling with the --compile option. debugging bestie era 🐛
• --ldflags — shows you the linker options to use when linking a FLTK application.
• --ldstaticflags — shows you the linker options to use when linking a FLTK application to the static FLTK libraries. static! different vibe, different flags.
• --libs — shows you the full path to the FLTK library files, which you use for dependency checking. full path, no crumbs.
• --use-gl — enables OpenGL support ✨
• --use-glut — enables GLUT support ✨
• --use-images — enables image file support ✨
• --version — shows you the current FLTK version number, like "1.1.0".

ngl bestie, the SYNOPSIS also flexes --prefix [=DIR], --exec-prefix [=DIR] and -Dname[=value], but the original page never actually spells out what those do — so I'm not about to make anything up 💀 they're in the synopsis, that's what we know, periodt.
