# libmikmod-config(1)

script to get information about the installed version of libmikmod.

## NAME

libmikmod-config - script to get information about the installed version of libmikmod.

## SYNOPSIS

**libmikmod-config \[--prefix*\[=DIR\]*\] \[--exec-prefix*\[=DIR\]*\]** \[--version\] \[--libs\] \[--cflags\] \[--ldadd\]

## DESCRIPTION

*libmikmod-config* is a tool that is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use *libmikmod*. It is also used internally by the libmikmod.m4 macro for GNU autoconf that is included with *libmikmod*.

## OPTIONS

*libmikmod-config* accepts the following options:

- **--version**

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

- **--libs**

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

- **--ldadd**

  Print the extra linker flags that are necessary to link a *libmikmod* program if it was compiled with the GNU C compiler.

- **--cflags**

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

- **--prefix=PREFIX**

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