💖 fox-config — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the FOX Programmers Manual (yes, that's the manual name, it's giving very serious C++ energy) and it's all about fox-config. pull up a chair 🪑

✨ NAME ✨

fox-config — a lil wrapper around pkg-config 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

fox-config [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so basically, fox-config is a wrapper around pkg-config calls. that's it. that's the whole job. and the reason it exists? to avoid multilib conflicts. no cap. it just quietly handles the messy bits so you don't have to, which is honestly such main character energy 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

one bullet per flag, bestie, no skipping:

• --prefix[=DIR] — shows you the prefix directory. (yes, the DIR part is optional, it's in brackets, don't come for me)
• --exec-prefix[=DIR] — shows you the exec-prefix directory. also optional DIR, also iconic.
• --version — shows the libFOX version. the way that you just ask and it tells you 🫶
• --libs — shows all the needed libraries for apps using libFOX. every single one. it ate.
• --cflags — shows all cflags. that's it. short king. 👑
