NAME¶
allegro-config - script to get information about the installed version of
Allegro
SYNOPSIS¶
allegro-config [--prefix
[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix
[=DIR]]
[--version] [--libs] [--cflags] [--static] [--shared] [--env]
[release|debug|profile]
DESCRIPTION¶
allegro-config is a tool that is used to configure to determine the
compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs
that use the
Allegro library. It is intended to be used on Unix systems
instead of the simple "-lalleg" call.
EXAMPLE¶
gcc -o mygame mygame.o `allegro-config --libs`
allegro-config will insert arguments needed to link into the command
line.
OPTIONS¶
allegro-config accepts the following options:
- --version
- Print the currently installed version of Allegro on the standard
output.
- --libs
- Print the linker flags that are necessary to link an Allegro
program.
- --cflags
- Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile an Allegro
program.
- --prefix=PREFIX
- If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that
Allegro 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
--libs or --cflags options.
- --exec-prefix=PREFIX
- If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that
Allegro was built with when computing the output for the --cflags
and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or
--cflags options.
- --static
- Like --libs, but always print the linker flags needed to get a statically
linked executable.
- --shared
- Like --libs, but always print the linker flags needed to get an executable
linked against shared libs.
- --env
- Print some needed environment variables in the way needed in shell
scripts. Output may be loaded into your environment using
BASH#> eval `allegro-config --env`
- release
- This will use the optimized Allegro library which you should use when you
are compiling for a release.
- debug
- This will add extra debug info into your programs, useful to find out
where your program crashed or simply to debug it (names of functions are
seen). You may choose this option while developing a program.
- profile
- This may be used when you want to profile your program - i.e. measure the
speeds of various function calls.
