xine-config1

Script to get information about the installed version of libxine

Usage

xine-config [--prefix [=DIR]] [--exec-prefix [=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags] [--objcflags] [--plugindir] [--datadir] [--scriptdir] [--localedir]

Overview

xine-config is DEPRECATED. Use pkg-config instead.

xine-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 libxine. It can also be used to determine the directories where libxine expects plugins.

Options

xine-config accepts the following options, passing them on (possibly modified) to pkg-config libxine:

--version

--modversion
Print the currently installed version of libxine on the standard output.

--libs
--cflags
--objcflags

Passed on unmodified.
Print the compiler flags (for C and Objective C, respectively) that are necessary to compile a program that uses libxine.

--bindir
--plugindir
--datadir
--scriptdir
--localedir

--variable=...
Print the directory where, respectively, libxine binaries, plugins, data files, scripts and locale data are stored/expected.

--prefix=PREFIX

--define-variable=prefix=PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that xine-lib was built with. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified.

--exec-prefix=PREFIX

--define-variable=exec_prefix=PREFIX
If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that xine-lib was built with.
