✨ lib3ds — the manual, but make it cute ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in the General Commands Manual section, and the actual tool it's about is called lib3ds-config. bestie, that's the name. i'm not gatekeeping anything, it's all right here 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

lib3ds-config — a lil script that spills the tea about the version of lib3ds you have installed 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

lib3ds-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version]
[--libs] [--cflags]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so lib3ds-config is the tool you use to figure out — like, configure figure out — which compiler and linker flags you need to compile and link programs that use lib3ds. it's giving "middle management but make it glam" and honestly? it ate. 🫶

it also gets used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that ship with lib3ds. iykyk ✨

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

lib3ds-config accepts the following options, no cap:

  • --version — prints the version of lib3ds that's currently installed, straight to standard output. simple. iconic. 💅
  • --libs — prints the linker flags you need to link a lib3ds program. you want these. you need these. 🌈
  • --cflags — prints the compiler flags you need to compile a lib3ds program. periodt. ⭐
  • --prefix=PREFIX — if you pass this, then PREFIX gets used instead of the installation prefix lib3ds was built with, when it's computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. also, this option gets used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix wasn't specified. ⚠️ and listen: this option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. order matters, bestie, don't play yourself. 🫠
  • --exec-prefix=PREFIX — if you pass this, then PREFIX gets used instead of the installation exec prefix lib3ds was built with, when it's computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. ⚠️ same rule as above: this option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. front of the line only, babe. 🎀

💖 AUTHOR 💖

this manpage is an almost word-for-word copy of the gtk-config manpage, written by Owen Taylor. it was modified by Marcelo E. Magallon <mmagallo@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but it may be used by others). giving credit where credit is due, always. 🫶

okay that's the whole page, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓 — this was lib3ds 1.3.0, dated 16 Jun 2001, from the lib3ds(1) corner of the manual. mwah 💋✨
