## NAME

kadu-config - script to get information about the installed version of kadu

## SYNOPSIS

**kadu-config** \[--prefix*\[=DIR\]*\] \[--exec-prefix*\[=DIR\]*\] \[--version\] \[--libs\] \[--cflags\] \[--data-dir\] \[--modules-dir\] \[--qt-moc-dir\]\

## DESCRIPTION

*kadu-config* is a tool for retrieving the library/include paths *kadu* was compiled with. Useful for folks compiling their own Kadu modules outside the main source tree.

*kadu-config* is based on *xmms-config* from the *XMMS* package.

## OPTIONS

*kadu-config* accepts the following options:

- **--prefix*\[=DIR\]***

  If specified, use *DIR* instead of the installation prefix that *kadu* 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*\[=DIR\]***

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

- **--version**

  Print the currently installed version of *kadu* on the standard output.

- **--libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link *kadu* to a program.

- **--cflags**

  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program that uses *kadu*.

- **--data-dir**

  Print the directory that the *kadu*´s icons, emoticons and sounds themes are installed in.

- **--modules-dir**

  Print the directory that the *kadu*´s modules keep their description and data files.

- **--qt-moc-dir**

  Print the directory that the *Qt*´s moc compiler is installed in.
