MM-CONFIG(1)

🎀 MM-CONFIG(1) 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Shared Memory Library manual page — short, sweet, and it does exactly what it says on the tin 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

mm-config — the OSSP mm library configuration/build utility 💅

🌸 VERSION 🌸

OSSP mm 1.4.1 (10-Aug-2006) — vintage, but iconic 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

mm-config [--help] [--version] [--cflags] [--ldflags] [--libs]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So mm-config is a little helper utility that makes configuring and building applications based on the mm(3) library actually easy. It's basically your translator: you ask it stuff, and it hands you back the C compiler and linker flags you need to correctly compile and link your application against the mm(3) library. no cap, that's the whole job 🫶

tiny program, main character energy. periodt.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

mm-config accepts the following options:

• --help — prints the short usage information. the "hi bestie, here's how to use me" move ✨
• --version — prints the version number and date of the installed mm(3) library 📅
• --cflags — prints the C compiler flags you need to compile your mm(3)-based application. this output usually gets added to the "CFLAGS" variable of the application's "Makefile" 🎀
• --ldflags — prints the linker flags (-L) you need to link your application with the mm(3) library. this output usually gets added to the "LDFLAGS" variable of the application's "Makefile" 🔗
• --libs — prints the library flags (-l) you need to link your application with the mm(3) library. and yep, this output usually gets added to the "LIBS" variable of the application's "Makefile" 📚

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

okay this is the part where it serves. your Makefile:

CC=cc
CFLAGS=-O `mm-config --cflags`
LDFLAGS=`mm-config --ldflags`
LIBS=-lm `mm-config --libs`

all: foo
foo: foo.o
    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o foo foo.o $(LIBS)
foo.o: foo.c
    $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c foo.c

it's giving "I know exactly what flags I need and I'm not stressed about it" 💅🔥
