ucommon-config(1)

💖 ucommon-config — the glow-up guide 💖

okay bestie, so this is the ucommon-config manual page, from the GNU Telephony girlies 🎀. It lives in section 1 of the manual (the "run it in your shell" section, iykyk).

---

✨ NAME ✨

ucommon-config — the lil script that spills the tea about the ucommon library 🫖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ucommon-config [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So ucommon-config is that girl 💅 — you run her and she tells you the compiler and linker flags you need to actually compile and link programs that use the ucommon library. Like, she does the homework so your build doesn't flop.

🚨 BUT. Listen. ucommon-config is provided for compatibility with legacy software only. She's here for the oldheads, fr. Current projects should use pkg-config instead! No cap. Don't build new stuff on her, bestie 😭

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --version — prints the version of ucommon that's installed rn, straight to standard output 📢
• --secure — prints the extra libraries you need to link a program with ucommonsecurecrytographiclibrary 🔐
• --scripting — prints the extra linker flags you need to link a program with ucommonscriptlibrary 📜
• --includes — prints the include directory for ucommonheaders 📁
• --libs — prints the linker flags that are necessary to link a program with ucommon 🔗
• --plugins — prints the directory for ucommonplugins 🔌
• --cflags — prints the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program with ucommon 🛠️
• --prefix=PREFIX — if you specify this, it uses PREFIX instead of the installation prefix ucommon was built with when it computes the output for the --cflags and --libs options. It's also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix wasn't specified. ⚠️ and this one must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options — order matters, diva 💅
• --exec-prefix=PREFIX — if you specify this, it uses PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix ucommon was built with when it computes the output for the --cflags and --libs options. ⚠️ also must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options — same rule, same energy ✨
