- .TH FREETYPE-CONFIG 1 "August 2023" "FreeType 2.13.2"
- .
- .
- .SH NAME
- .
- freetype-config \- Get information about a libfreetype installation
- .
- .
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .
- .B freetype-config
- .RI [ options ]
- .
- .
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- .
- .B freetype-config
- returns information needed for compiling and linking programs with the
- FreeType library, such as linker flags and compilation 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.
- .
- .PP
- If
- .BR pkg-config (1)
- is found in the path,
- .B freetype-config
- acts as a wrapper for
- .BR pkg-config .
- .
- .PP
- This program is part of the FreeType package.
- .
- .
- .SH OPTIONS
- .
- There are two types of options: output/display selection options, and
- path override options.
- .
- .
- .SS Output selection options
- .
- Only one of the output selection options should be given at each program
- invocation.
- .
- .TP
- .B \-\-prefix
- Return the prefix value of the installed FreeType library (the default
- prefix will be `/usr' in most cases for distribution-installed
- packages).
- .
- .TP
- .B \-\-exec-prefix
- Return the executable prefix value of the installed FreeType library
- (will often be the same as the prefix value).
- .
- .TP
- .B \-\-ftversion
- Return the FreeType version number, directly derived from file
- `freetype.h'.
- .
- .TP
- .B \-\-version
- Return the `libtool version' of the FreeType library.
- .
- .TP
- .B \-\-libtool
- Return the library name for linking with libtool.
- .
- .TP
- .B \-\-libs
- Return compiler flags for linking with the installed FreeType library.
- .
- .TP
- .B \-\-cflags
- Return compiler flags for compiling against the installed FreeType library.
- .
- .TP
- .B \-\-static
- Make command line options display flags for static linking.
- .
- .TP
- .B \-\-help
- Show help and exit.
- .
- .
- .SS Path override options
- .
- These affect any selected output option, except the libtool version
- returned by
- .BR \-\-version .
- .
- .TP
- .BI \-\-prefix= PREFIX
- Override
- .B \-\-prefix
- value with
- .IR PREFIX .
- .
- This also sets
- .BI \-\-exec-prefix= PREFIX
- if option
- .B \-\-exec-prefix
- is not explicitly given.
- .
- .TP
- .BI \-\-exec-prefix= EPREFIX
- Override
- .B \-\-exec-prefix
- value with
- .IR EPREFIX .
- .
- .
- .SH BUGS
- In case the libraries FreeType links to are located in non-standard
- directories, and
- .BR pkg-config (1)
- is not available, the output from option
- .B \-\-libs
- might be incomplete.
- .
- It is thus recommended to use the
- .BR pkg-config (1)
- interface instead, which is able to correctly resolve all dependencies.
- .
- .PP
- Setting
- .B \-\-exec-prefix
- (either explicitly or implicitly) might return incorrect results if
- combined with option
- .BR \-\-static .
- .
- The same problem can occur if you set the
- .B SYSROOT
- environment variable.
- .
