💖 QUANTLIB-CONFIG 💖

ok so bestie, this is a page from the General Commands Manual — section 1, commands, the good stuff — and it's about a lil helper called quantlib-config. sit with me, it's actually so useful.

✨ NAME ✨

quantlib-config — compiler / linker flags for QuantLib 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so quantlib-config is literally just a tool that tells you which compiler and linker flags you need to use when you're compiling and linking programs that use QuantLib. that's it. that's the whole job. and honestly? iconic for it. 💅

like, you don't gotta guess. you don't gotta dig through build dirs at 2am. you ask this little guy and it hands you the flags. no cap. 🦋

✨ OPTIONS ✨

quantlib-config accepts these options, and yes we're doing all of them, every single one, because we don't skip:

  • --prefix[=DIR] — shows you the QuantLib installation prefix. that's the vibe. 🌸
  • --exec-prefix[=DIR] — shows you the QuantLib execution direction prefix. yep, execution direction prefix, that's what it says bestie. 💜
  • --libs — prints out the linker flags you need to link a QuantLib program. linker flags, served fresh. 🔥
  • --cflags — prints out the compiler flags you need to compile a QuantLib program. compiler flags, on demand. ✨
  • --version — prints the currently installed version of QuantLib to standard output. so you know exactly which one you got. 👑

✨ SEE ALSO ✨
