# smpeg-config(1)

script to get information about the installed version of SMPEG

## NAME

smpeg-config - script to get information about the installed version of SMPEG

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

*smpeg-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 *SMPEG* library.

## OPTIONS

- **--version**

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

- **--libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a *SMPEG*-using program.

- **--library-libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a library that uses  *SMPEG*. (This excludes any static objects required for linking, since  these must be linked only by executable programs.)

- **--plugin-libs**

  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link an *SMPEG*-using object  that is to be accessed via [*dlopen*(3)](/dlopen/3.md). This may include static objects with PIC symbol information.  This option should **not** be used for ordinary shared libraries or standalone applications.

- **--cflags**

  Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a *SMPEG*-using library or program.

- **--prefix=PREFIX**

  If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that *SMPEG* 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, --library-libs, --plugin-libs or --cflags options.

- **--exec-prefix=PREFIX**

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