💖 NAME 💖

xosd-config — bestie, it's the lil script that spills the tea on which version of libxosd you actually have installed 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so xosd-config is that girl who exists purely to help you configure stuff — specifically, she figures out the compiler flags and the linker flags you're gonna need so you can compile and link programs that use libxosd. no cap, that's the whole job. 💅

she also gets used internally by the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that ship with libxosd, so like… she's lowkey famous behind the scenes. iykyk. 🌈

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

xosd-config accepts the following options, and yes bestie, she eats every single time:

  • --version — prints the version of libxosd you've currently got installed, straight to the standard output. very demure, very mindful. ✨
  • --libs — prints the linker flags you need to link a libxosd program. literally the receipts for linking. 🔥
  • --cflags — prints the compiler flags you need to compile a libxosd program. your build's main character energy right here. 👑
  • --prefix=PREFIX — if you specify this, she uses PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that libxosd was built with when she's computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. she also uses it for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix wasn't specified. 🦋
⚠️ bestie listen — this option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. order matters, she's not flexible about it, periodt.
  • --exec-prefix=PREFIX — if you specify this, she uses PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that libxosd was built with when she's computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. 🧚
⚠️ same deal — this one must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. don't test her.
