NAME

       sdl-config - script to get information about the installed version of SDL

SYNOPSIS

       sdl-config   [--prefix=[DIR]]   [--exec-prefix=[DIR]]   [--version]   [--cflags]  [--libs]
       [--static-libs]

DESCRIPTION

       sdl-config is a tool that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker flags
       that should be used to compile and link programs, libraries, and plugins that use SDL.  It
       is also used internally by the m4 macros that are included with SDL.

OPTIONS

       --cflags
              Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program  or  library  that
              uses SDL.

       --exec-prefix[=DIR]
              If DIR is not specified, print the exec prefix of the current SDL installation.

              If  DIR  is  specified, use it instead of the installation exec prefix that SDL was
              built with when computing the output for the  --cflags,  --libs  and  --static-libs
              options.   This option must be specified before any of the options --cflags, --libs
              and --static-libs.

       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program that uses SDL.

       --static-libs
              Print the linker flags that are necessary to statically link a  program  that  uses
              SDL.

       --prefix[=DIR]
              If DIR is not specified, print the prefix of the current SDL installation.

              If  DIR  is specified, use it instead of the installation prefix that SDL was built
              with when computing the output for the --cflags, --libs and --static-libs  options.
              This  option  is  also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified.
              This option must be specified before  any  of  the  options  --cflags,  --libs  and
              --static-libs.

       --version
              Prints the currently installed version of SDL on standard output.

EXAMPLES

       gcc -o main.o $(sdl-config --cflags) main.c
              is  how  you  might  use  sdl-config  to  compile a C source file for an executable
              program.

       gcc -o my_app $(sdl-config --libs) main.o util.o
              is how you might use  sdl-config  to  link  compiled  objects  into  an  executable
              program.
