NAME

       freetype-config - Get information about a libfreetype installation

SYNOPSIS

       freetype-config [options]

DESCRIPTION

       freetype-config  returns  information  needed  for compiling and linking programs with the
       FreeType library, such as linker flags and compilation parameters.  Alternatively, it  can
       be  used  to query information about the FreeType library version installed on the system,
       such as the installation (directory path) prefix or the FreeType version number.

       This program is part of the FreeType package.

OPTIONS

       There are two types of  options:  output/display  selection  options,  and  path  override
       options.

   Output selection options
       Only one of the output selection options should be given at each program invocation.

       --prefix
              Return  the prefix value of the installed FreeType library (the default prefix will
              be `/usr' in most cases for distribution-installed packages).

       --exec-prefix
              Return the executable prefix value of the installed FreeType library (will often be
              the same as the prefix value).

       --ftversion
              Return the FreeType version number.

       --version
              Return the `libtool version' of the FreeType library.

       --libtool
              Return the library name for linking with libtool.

       --libs Return compiler flags for linking with the installed FreeType library.

       --cflags
              Return compiler flags for compiling against the installed FreeType library.

       --static
              Make command line options display flags for static linking.

   Path override options
       These  affect  any  selected  output  option,  except  the  libtool  version  returned  by
       `--version'.

       --prefix=PREFIX
              Override `--prefix' value with PREFIX.

       --exec-prefix=EPREFIX
              Override `--exec-prefix' value with EPREFIX.

BUGS

       In case the libraries FreeType links to  are  located  in  non-standard  directories,  the
       output  from  option  --libs  might be incomplete.  It is thus recommended to use the pkg-
       config(1) interface instead, which is able to correctly resolve all dependencies.
