NAME

       caca-config - script to get information about the installed version of libcaca

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       caca-config  is  a tool that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker flags that should
       be used to compile and link progams, libraries, and plugins that use libcaca.

       The use of caca-config is deprecated. The more generic tool pkg-config should be used instead.

OPTIONS

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

       --exec-prefix=DIR
              If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that libcaca  was  build  with  when
              computing  the  output  for the --cflags and --libs options.  This option must be specified before
              any of the --cflags and --libs options.

       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program or library that uses libcaca.

       --prefix=DIR
              If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix  that  libcaca  was  built  with  when
              computing  the  output for the --cflags and --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
              --cflags and --libs options.

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

EXAMPLES

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

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