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.
