LOG4CPP-CONFIG(1)

💖 LOG4CPP-CONFIG 💖

okay bestie, so this is a General Commands Manual page for log4cpp-config, and it's genuinely one of the most useful little gremlins in your build toolchain, no cap 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

log4cpp-config — a script that spills the tea about the installed version of log4cpp 🍓

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

log4cpp-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version]
[--libs] [--cflags] [LIBRARIES]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So log4cpp-config is the tool you hit up when you need to figure out the compiler and linker flags that you should be using to compile and link programs that use log4cpp. It's giving personal assistant energy but for your build system 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

log4cpp-config accepts the following options, and yes, we're going through every single one because I love you:

• LIBRARIES — lowkey this argument is currently ignored, because log4cpp as only one library. So like… you can pass it, it just won't do anything. Iconic of it honestly 💀
• --version — prints the currently installed version of log4cpp on the standard output. Vibe check on your install ✨
• --libs — prints the linker flags that are necessary to link a log4cpp program. Your linker will be obsessed 🔥
• --cflags — prints the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a log4cpp program. Compiler? Fed. Nourished. Slaying 🌈
• --prefix=PREFIX — if you specify this, it uses PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that log4cpp was built with when it's computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. Order matters bestie, don't get it twisted 😭
• --exec-prefix=PREFIX — if you specify this, it uses PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that log4cpp was built with when it's computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. Same rule, same energy 🙈

fr fr, if you put --prefix or --exec-prefix after --libs or --cflags, it's not gonna work the way you want. Put the prefix flags first. That's the whole assignment. 📝
