💖 GST-CONFIG(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about gst-config — yes, the gst-config manual page, and it's literally the configuration helper for libgst. it's giving "small page, big purpose" energy and honestly? obsessed. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gst-config — configuration for libgst 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gst-config [OPTIONS] [LIBRARIES]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. you hand it some OPTIONS, maybe a LIBRARIES or two, and it does its little configuration thing. no cap. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's where it gets juicy. every single one of these, no skipping, we're doing this properly:

  • --prefix[=DIR] — sets/asks about the prefix directory. you can pass a DIR, or you can just vibe with the bracket situation as written. ✨
  • --exec-prefix[=DIR] — same energy, but for the exec prefix. optional DIR, again with the bracket. 🫶
  • --version — tells you the version. iconic behavior, honestly.
  • --libdir — points at the lib directory. 🍓
  • --datadir — points at the data directory. 🌸
  • --libs — spits out the library flags. yes queen. 🔥
  • --cflags — spits out the compiler flags. the way that it just does that. 😭

🌈 Libraries:

  • gst

that's the library. just the one. she's the main character. 👑

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay so the full documentation for gst-config? it is maintained as a Texinfo manual, bestie. not here, not in this little page — in the Texinfo manual. periodt.

and if the info and gst-config programs are properly installed at your site, then this command right here:

info gst

should give you access to the complete manual. 💜 go read it, it's the whole thing.

lowkey important reminder: this page is the short version. the Texinfo manual is where the full tea lives, and it only works if info and gst-config are properly installed at your site. if they're not, well. 🙈

and that's the page, babe! 🎀 this lil rewrite is brought to you by gst-config version 3.2.5, dated April 2013 — yeah she's an elder but she ate and left no crumbs. 💖✨ bye bestie, go run info gst 💅🦋
