# get-wings-flags(1)

output libWINGs compiler and linker flags (deprecated)

## NAME

**get-wings-flags** - output libWINGs compiler and linker flags (deprecated)

## SYNOPSIS

**pkg-config** WINGs *--cflags*\
 **pkg-config** WINGs *--libs*

## DESCRIPTION

**get-wings-flags** used to provide the compilation and link flags for programs that use the *WINGs* library, before **pkg-config** became the universal way to handle these developer configurations. The script is now deprecated and you should use instead:

- **pkg-config** WINGs *--cflags*

  to get the flags for the compiler

- **pkg-config** WINGs *--libs*

  to get the flags for the linker

## IMPORTANT NOTE

As with every deprecated stuff, the script **get-wings-flags** will be removed soon, so you should update your script quickly while you know about it.
