# esd-config(1)

The Enlightened Sound Daemon

## NAME

esd-config - The Enlightened Sound Daemon

## DESCRIPTION

esd-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 EsounD. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for  GNU  autoconf  that  are included with EsounD.

## USAGE

esd-config \[--prefix\[=DIR\]\] \[--exec-prefix\[=DIR\]\] \[--version\] \[--libs\] \[--cflags\]

**--version** Print the currently installed version of EsounD on the standard output.

**--libs**    Print the linker flags that are necessary to  link an EsounD program.

**--cflags**  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile an EsounD program.

**--prefix=PREFIX** If specified, use PREFIX instead of the  installation prefix that EsounD 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 EsounD was built with when computing the output for the  --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs  or --cflags options.
