FREETYPE-CONFIG(1)FREETYPE-CONFIG(1)NAMEfreetype-config - Get information about a libfreetype installation
SYNOPSISfreetype-config [options]
DESCRIPTIONfreetype-config returns information needed for compiling and linking
programs with the FreeType library, such as linker flags and compila‐
tion 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 pro‐
gram 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.
